Police are hunting for a man who was caught on camera pickpocketing from elderly men at the library and TAB.
Waitemata police say the thefts happened on July 1 while a senior citizen was reading at the New Lynn library. His Samsung phone was in his pocket.
A member of the public quickly took a picture on their phone after seeing the man reach over and steal a phone from the victim's pocket.
Forty minutes later, the same man has gone into the Henderson TAB, where an elderly man was sitting watching television.
