Caught on camera, the Romanian thief who distracts shop assistant before putting £54,000 of jewellery down her SKIRT

This is the moment a brazen jewellery thief distracts a shop assistant before reaching over a counter and smuggling a £54,000 tray of bangles into her skirt.
Mother-of-four Saina Sava was one member of a gang of female shoplifters who were caught on camera sending an assistant away from the counter while she shamelessly removes an entire tray of jewellery inside the shop in Leicester.
In a separate CCTV shot inside Sunny Jewellers, the two women continue to distract the isolated retail assistant, while the women dressed in a black headscarf proceeds to put the entire jewellery tray down the front of her dress.

Distraction tactics: As her two accomplices keep the shop assistant busy, Romanian Saina Sava prepares to reach over the counter

The mother-of-four brazenly reaches for a tray of bangles while the two other women somehow keep the assistant from noticing

At one point, one of the women even opens her headscarf wide to help hide her accomplices as she hides the bangles in the specially-made skirt pocket.
Two of the shameless gang, Saina Sava, 38, and Sedra Niculescu, 28, from Luton, were jailed for 16 months last Friday after admitting theft at Leicester Crown Court.
The third member of the trio was not identified.
Judge Robert Brown said: 'You went equipped with skirts with long slits with deep pockets to hide the stolen goods in.

'It was pre-meditated. None of the jewellery was recovered.'
The women struck Sunny Jewellers, in Belgrave Road, Leicester, on June 16 at 4.15pm.
After making their exit from the shop they were driven away by a fourth accomplice driving a BMW 5-series.
