Breast flashing bandits caught in Paris
By Reuters
PARIS - French police have arrested two teenage girls they say stole hundreds of euros from unsuspecting cash machine customers after distracting them by flashing their breasts.
The 14-year old girls were taken to the Paris prosecutor’s office to face charges while a 12 year-old accomplice was placed in a home, police said.
The girls first struck last week when they approached a man withdrawing cash from an automated teller machine in the sixth district of Paris.
One of the girls tried to distract him by sticking a newspaper under his nose. When that failed, she opened her shirt and grabbed his crotch, while the other girl swiped 300 euros ($385).
The girls struck again with the help of the 12-year old a few days later, using the same method to steal 500 euros from a woman.
I'm kind of confused by this story. I understand how a teenage girl flashing her boobs might distract you but why does it render your hands unable to grasp money. I pretty sure I could turn around to recognize the commotion and have a firm grasp on my money at the same time. Of course, maybe I'm overestimating myself. Maybe its one of those pat your belly/rub your head things and most people just suck at it. Anyway, kudos to the girls for having an effective plan.
