A suspected thief is alleged to have taken influencer Colleen Bankston’s bag outside London St Pancras International station in broad daylight as she loaded luggage into the boot of a taxi.
The incident happened on the morning of Sunday, August 30, when Ms Bankston briefly turned away from the bag. Video footage appears to show a man wearing headphones and a baseball cap bending down to pick it up before walking towards the station entrance.
The man is then seen clutching the bag close to his chest as he moves away. Ms Bankston appears unaware of what has happened while facing the taxi’s open boot.
She later shared the footage on social media and appealed for help identifying the suspected thief. The video was reportedly recorded by a nearby man who said he recognised him.
British Transport Police said officers were aware of footage showing a man taking a suitcase outside St Pancras International on Sunday.
Enquiries are continuing. Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 and quoting reference 447 of September 1.
