In the video, a child, a woman and a man are sitting at a table. The child leans down and pulls the bag through the gap between the tables. He then pushes the bag underneath the table to another woman, who approaches the table. She leans down, picks up the handbag from underneath the table and clutches it under her left shoulder. The child, man and woman who were sitting at the table get up and leave.
Fourie added: “You can keep the money and my daughter’s Christmas present but please return the bag with the rest.”
Last month a video emerged on social media, showing a child stealing a customer’s bag at a Steers restaurant at a mall in Paarl, Western Cape. The child is accompanied by his mother and two siblings.
