I imagine it won't take long for scumbags in other cities to try out what appears to be working in Toronto.....
Const. Vella said the four-member team watches people withdraw money from ABMs and then follows them to secluded areas, such as elevators, where they assume they will evade security cameras. Each scammer plays a different role: One person stealthily squirts the victim's clothing with feces, another points out the offending spot, a third tries to remove it while the fourth surreptitiously grabs their cash.
Const. Vella said the thieves make sure to soil their targets' clothes without them realizing.
"If it was overt, then their guard would be up and they would know there's an issue here. But if it's done secretively, the victim will think these four people are there to help them," he said.
