A security camera from Chongqing city, China showed a mother using her 4-year-old son to tag team and steal a woman’s iPhone.

A woman allegedly walked into a store and distracted employees by asking to try on all of their new clothes. While they were all busy, her 4-year-old boy ran to the counter and snatched the iPhone from the charger. He then proceeded to slip it into the mom’s pocket, as she subtly held up a store item to block her son from view.

When the theft was completed, the woman suddenly told the employees that she needed to go to an ATM machine to withdraw some cash.

Unfortunately, the pair and the iPhone did not return. The clothing store reported the incident to the police and an investigation is underway.

This mom is definitely setting up her son for an interesting life ahead.
