Mainly Romanians Michael, British Transport Police released a stat a few weeks back saying that 52% of arrests for pick pocketing last year in London (mainly underground) were Romanians. That's the official stat, but they reckon 8 out of 10 is more realistic.
Bag snatches are becoming more and more common across the south in general, mainly in smaller shopping centre's using diversion tactics i.e. asking you for something that you are likely to have in your bag.
Apparently they target the UK because they see our Police as "weak"
