The robberies on the Paris-Nord to Brussels-South Thalys train are happening daily, be careful.

Hi everyone, I use this train line to go to work once or twice a week, and I've had my phone stolen last week-end, and during today's trip I saw the same guys rob someone in the carriage right in front of mine. They work in groups of 4-5 people who spread along the entire train, and pick a group of people in a carriage and ask to see everyone's ticket. <br><br>They show a small badge but I'm pretty sure it's not real, and it's very easy to miss the few seconds that they open your bags and steal your phones or wallets. They Melo to be train controllers, but I think in reality they are just a gang of thieves that have an inside person that is allowing them to work freely on this line, as they seem to operate undisturbed every single day. <br><br>So be very careful when you use this line, keep an eye on your belongings at all times, and report them to the staff on the train if you have time to react.
