Winchmore Hill police have tweeted a warning about two-person teams robbing people on buses.
Beware that if 2 people, waiting together for the bus (usually both women) get on with you and then one of them sits right beside you while the other stands or sits nearby (when there are plenty of empty seats around) you are likely being set up to be pickpocketed. Move away.
