The ketchup Gang (LRT)

The Ketchup Gang

this happened in LRT and got this information in http://cheftonio.blogspot.com/2010/11/new-modus-operandi-ketchup-gang.html.

As the student victim was riding the LRT, he noticed a couple of kids running around with a ketchup bottle. Little did he know that he was the prime target of these kids as they might have noticed that he was carrying a laptop on his back. As the kids were playing with the bottle, they accidentally sprayed it onto the clothes of the victim. Sure enough, all of the kids (around 4 perhaps) surrounded the victim and started to clean the side of his shirt. The victim, who is now concentrating on removing the stain on his shirt, was not aware that the suspects are already getting his laptop and his belongings. It was too late when the victim realized that his bag has gone much lighter and yes, in a matter of seconds, the suspects were able to get-off the train and got away with their crime.

*So some say that this is the other version of the spit and snatch gang which usually occurs on jeepneys. Just be alert and keep your bags in front of you when riding the LRT/MRT.
