"Latif, of Alvey Street, Southwark was jailed for 23 months after pleading guilty to nine counts of theft between August 6 and September 25 last year in which he stole almost 15,000 worth of items."
"PC Pradip Young said after the sentencing: These are professional criminals, who took their time when preying on other people's belongings and transferring valuables from their victims' bags to their own."
"The thieves operated with audacity, standing by the bar and committing their crimes while their victims were just nearby having a drink."
"CCTV also captured Latif and a different accomplice stealing a laptop at a bar in Aldgate."
Majazy Latif and Youcef Aliouat were caught on CCTV stealing laptops from patrons in a London pub. They spent several minutes rummaging through bags while bar staff remained unaware. Latif was sentenced to 23 months for multiple thefts, while Aliouat received 18 months for stealing nine laptops. The police described them as professional criminals who blended in with other drinkers. Their actions were brazen, as they committed thefts in plain sight of the victims. Another accomplice, Mounir Ghilas, was also jailed for similar offenses.
