Three women, including a mother and daughter, targeted railway passengers during a series of high value thefts.
A gang of sophisticated suitcase snatchers - including a mother and daughter - swiped luggage worth around £14,000 in a series of railway thefts.
Vince Ward, prosecuting, said: "The offences all took place on the LNER rail system. Luggage was stolen from passengers on various trains between Newcastle and Darlington. Events are captured on CCTV at Newcastle and Darlington railway stations." Another passenger had over £2,000 of property stolen. That victim, a student at Durham University, said she was at the beginning of an "arduous journey" back to China when she lost her valuables and also some medication.
In February 2023, a man had luggage worth £5,000 stolen from him, including two iPads and four family passports. Ivanova and Petrova were seen on CCTV with that property at Darlington and some of the items were discarded in a churchyard.
