The Grand Scooty Theft By A 'Schoolgirl' In Varanasi

The CCTV footage shows the girl turning the scooty around carefully, taking furtive glances to see if anyone is watching. Then she starts the vehicle and comfortably rides away.

So far as car thefts go, this one from Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi breaks new grounds. The 'car' in question was actually a two-wheeler. But that does not detract from the uniqueness of the modus operandi.

The owner of the scooty - the resident of a flat in Varanasi's Kabir Nagar - has said a girl in a school uniform had come to her and asked for the keys of her two-wheeler. 

The scooty needs to be moved, she had said.
