Mauritius: Let's Track SwindlersCriminals are never at rest, they keep on studying the social trends and take advantage of the slightest loopholes to achieve their misdeeds. Let's take the example of these two suspected drug abusers who approach a gentleman drawing money at an ATM at Port Louis, borrow his pen, propose him some horse race tips against money while handing the pen back and, on his denial, they rapidly stage a scenario where they pretend the victim owes them money. Taken aback by the more than true violent play, the poor man has no other alternative than to give them some notes. The numerous passers-by do not intervene because they think it is a private matter, some might even consider it was well done for the supposed unscrupulous borrower and the culprits know our indifferent society better than we do !
