A crafty thief used a ruse involving leaflets to steal a woman’s phone.
It is believed the sneaky thief held leaflets over the victims mobile phone while it was left on the table before picking it up and calmly walking out of the restaurant without anybody realising what had happened.
The theft happened at the North Star Deli in Chorlton on Saturday afternoon and the footage was shared on the Chorlton Facebook page in a bid to raise awareness.
