Romanian Pickpockets Target Cannes Film Festival

Romanian pickpockets are targeting the crowds at the Cannes Film Festival, taking advantage of the large gatherings of people around celebrities to steal valuables. According to judicial sources, several gangs from Romania have relocated to Cannes for the duration of the festival. 'A skilled thief could easily steal ten wallets in a single day,' says a source familiar with the situation. The thieves are exploiting the chaos and excitement of the event to blend in and steal from unsuspecting victims. The festival, which attracts many prominent figures, has also attracted criminals from other countries. This highlights the need for increased security measures at large-scale events to protect both attendees and their belongings. Police are working to address the issue and ensure the safety of festival-goers.
