 Ananova: 
'Grey twins' surrender

Two grannies caught on CCTV stealing a bag have handed themselves into police.

Cameras caught the OAPs laughing as they carried the bag away.

Both women admitted the theft of the bag which they found as they got off a train at Sunderland train station.

A British Transport Police spokeswoman said: "Although they handed themselves in we had already identified the two women from the CCTV footage."

A 20-year-old Malaysian student had left the bag unattended at the station.

PC Gavin Alcorn, of British Transport Police, said: "The student had left her bag for a few minutes and the elderly ladies saw it and brought it into to our office.

"When the girl came back to look for the bag she came to us and checked her possessions. She told us her student ID, Malaysian driving licence and a small amount of cash had been taken."

The grannies were given a police caution, reports the Sun.
