A North Carolina mom stopped a teen pickpocket in her tracks during a family trip to Italy and is now going viral online for how she handled the would-be thief.

The video shows a woman confronting a girl she suspected of covertly stealing her and her family’s belongings alongside a group of teen thieves in Venice.

“You stole my purse with my passport in it!” the mother is heard yelling at the teen in the video.

The woman’s daughter, Lauren McElroy, shared that the family was walking through Venice, looking for their hotel, when a throng of teenagers suddenly surrounded her mom and stepdad.

Next thing they knew, their wallet, passport, and AirPods from their bag were gone. A purse stolen from a zipped-up bookbag also went missing.
