Two Pakistani tricksters employed sleight of hand at various shops and hotels islandwide last year to steal money from unknowing cashiers. One of them would take money from the cashier using an excuse while the other distracted the cashier. The money would then be returned to the cashier but with some cash missing. They would leave the shop before the cashier could finish counting the notes. See how the Police collaborated with various agencies to solve the case.
