A woman resorted to a new trick to steal the handbag of another abaya-clad customer who was shopping for a dress at a shop.
The unidentified woman, who was also dressed in a black abaya, first got hold of the handbag with her foot, then she covered it with a long blue dress before picking it up and leaving the shop.
Two other women are suspected of helping the thief by keeping the customer distracted. A CCTV camera captured the whole incident which happened at a shopping mall.
