LONDON, England – London police released CCTV footage of a convenience store theft in which the suspect apparently hypnotized the shopkeeper before picking his pockets.
The Metropolitan Police said the suspect entered the Hops ‘N’ Pops store and requested water for his pregnant wife, which he indicated by touching the stomach area of owner Aftab “Aziz” Haider, 56, apparently putting him into a hypnotic trance. The suspect then took the shopkeeper’s wallet and hundreds of dollars worth of cash from his pockets.
