Strip their assets and deport them.

ici_cam Couldn’t give two hoots about what nationality these thieves were - just get them off the streets! Enough going on in our country with the fires for people to have to deal with thievery - then again, with Centrelink paying so little to those in need, what can we expect? AusPol

AmberX994874 Good to see our 457 visa is working well!!

AmberX994874 Deport

The perfect cultural exchange of values

Gotta love Melbourne. But I feel sorry for the pickpockets on Australia Day without the fireworks to distract people.

Deport them.

Deported?

Did we have a shortage of pickpockets and needed to bring them in on 457 visas?

Jonatho43827873 How typical they get bail. Were there passports taken off them? This will be another Puneet Puneet episode.

DEPORT!

Jonatho43827873 Mmmm smell the diversity, smells good

All bailed no consequences.

Great. If they are on visas send them on back!! Ciao

Diversity is our strength

Not sure why the nationality was mentioned but cool

Diversity is our stench.

Just need 4 more for a prison cricket team.

Foreigners are great !

All on student visas no doubt and all driving for uber. Pick pocketing is their side hustle.

Why use the word ‘including’? It’s seven people all up.

I think deportation is the right thing to do.

Yep, this happened to me before. And they used their toddler! Don't bring this shit to Oz. Sadly, police weren't interested.

Damn African gangs

They bring their best.
