A fitness influencer who had her Louis Vuitton suitcase stolen outside London St Pancras has revealed the sophisticated tactics the thieves used to distract her.
Colleen Bankston and her husband were loading luggage into an Uber on Sunday morning when she believes at least three criminals worked together to target her – one of them communicating with the others through a headset.
The 62-year-old was standing next to her Louis Vuitton suitcase containing a large sum of cash, designer handbags and 'sentimental' jewellery her husband had given her 35 years ago.
A stranger suddenly approached the couple and asked where they were going and if he could ride with them.
Seconds later Mrs Bankston, who had just lowered the handle of her case to put it in the taxi, realised the bag - which retails for more than £2,600 - was no longer by her side.
