This paper ran a well-followed graphic report on how cops managed to catch a thief who was picking pockets at Sion station recently, thanks to CCTV surveillance. The illustrative report captured how a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable first smelled something fishy while monitoring CCTV footage at Sion station. The footage clearly showed a passenger quitting the ticket queue, strangely just as he was about to reach the ticket window. The cop watched the man switch queues quite a few times.

Those who travel by train will definitely find this odd, as commuters are always in a hurry to reach the ticket window, and are relieved to be able to get a ticket. After the crook switched queues five times, the alert constable informed the anti-theft staff. Sure enough, the suspicious 'queue quitter' was nabbed after he filched the wallet of a passenger trying to board a train. It turned out he was jumping from queue to queue, simply looking for his next target.
