A concerned passenger has issued a warning to the public following an alleged pickpocketing incident aboard a London bus.
The incident is reported to have taken place on Wednesday, 19 March, at approximately 8:29 a.m., on the 29 bus route as it travelled along Green Lanes in Harringay.
According to the witness, a man was seen placing his hands into the pocket of a fellow passenger — the witness’s daughter-in-law — during the journey. The alert has since been shared online as a caution to others using public transport in the area.
Call for Vigilance on Public Transport
While it is not yet confirmed whether anything was stolen, the incident has sparked renewed calls for passengers to remain vigilant, particularly during peak travel times when buses and trains are more crowded.
Transport for London (TfL) advises all commuters to be aware of their surroundings, keep personal belongings secure, and report any suspicious behaviour immediately.
What To Do If You Witness or Experience Pickpocketing
Anyone who witnesses a crime or believes they have been a victim of pickpocketing is encouraged to report it to the police by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. Reports can also be made via British Transport Police or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
TfL also encourages passengers to make use of onboard CCTV, which can help authorities identify offenders in such cases.
