Toronto robbers spray ATM users with feces, steal their money

Given the amount of wacky crime-related stories I read for this site in any given day, there isn’t a whole lot that surprises me. But this is a new one: A team of pick-pockets in Toronto is spraying people with feces and then stealing the cash the people just took out from an ATM. Clever!

Toronto police claim that they have four suspects in the bizarre case.

The ploy begins when the crew finds someone who just withdrew money from a nearby ATM. They then follow him or her to their office building and secretly spray the person with a bottle of human feces while riding in the elevator. Then, one of the other members of the crew, also on the elevator, points out the feces on the clothing, leaving the victim shocked.

Another person in the crew will then help her clean off the feces while a third member pick-pockets the victim as she’s unaware due to all of the jostling involved in the clean-up process.

Say what you will about this group of criminals but any time your plan involves someone taking a dump and a criminal mastermind going, “Now let’s bottle that feces up and get to work,” you’ve got to be impressed. This is easily the greatest feces-related caper I’ve seen since a friend’s dog ate his own dung and vomited it all up on my friend’s new suit. I’m not sure what the dog was trying to accomplish, but that was probably the first step in an elaborate long con.
