A man took to social media after capturing a video of pickpocketers making their rounds, targeting people in the Gaslamp area of Downtown San Diego. A fun night in Gaslamp can take a turn if you're not careful. The man recorded a video of pickpocketers trying to steal phones and jewelry. Now, he wants to spread the word. "I was walking with my friend and one of the pickpocketers tried to bump into him and steal his chain," said Mohamed Ahmed, a San Diego resident. Ahmed decided to follow the pickpocketers from a distance. He recorded a video on a recent Saturday night on Fifth Avenue in Gaslamp. In the video you can see a hand going into a purse and pulling out a phone. "Usually they work in groups of three. There's a bag holder, a person who blocks the view of other people and a person who actually does the pickpocketing," he said.
