Transcript

Guys, this story keeps getting crazier. Basically, I was in Pilates class and then I came out and I had missed Instagram calls and I had nine missed calls from no caller ID. So I picked my shoes on no caller ID and rings again, so I picked it up. And I'm like, hello? She's like, hi, is this Flora? I'm like, yeah, it is. She goes, it's the police. And I'm like, oh my god. Hi. So we're having a chat. She's basically like, oh, we saw your Instagram account, Pick Pocket London, where we're with the Instagram account, Pick Pocket London. Now, he messaged me yesterday and said, I think I've seen this guy before, um, you know, gonna look out for him whenever. So they've found him. The Pick Pocket London Instagram account found this guy, helped the police arrest him. The police woman was like, can you give a statement? Would you be happy to go to court and like give evidence if it proceeds to that, if we've got the right person. And I was like, yeah, I will. I will help everybody get their stolen belongings back. So I give my statement and it was just crazy. I can't believe they got him. The Instagram account was sending me photos of this guy on the street of London being arrested. It's just justice. I'm so happy. I can't believe they got him. The Instagram Batman guy, he's literally Batman, saving the streets of London from pickpocketers. They got him.
