As part of an anti-pickpocket campaign, Shanghai police have set up billboards with photos of 22 pickpockets at a metro station, reports Shanghai Morning Post.

The pickpockets are shown with their eyes covered but can still be recognized by other features.

The seasoned criminals have rarely been seen at the busy station after the posters were put up; but some new ones have appeared, says the newspaper.
