"What's old is new. It's like pickpockets. They've been around forever, but they're coming up with new ways to be able to engage folks to steal property," Coffey told Fox News Digital. "Most of them want an easy way to grab a purse, a wallet or a phone. They don't want to engage in violence. They want to grab something and run."
