A suspected gang of thieves who allegedly stole items worth \u20ac300,000 (\u00a3260,000) from first-class passengers on French trains has been captured.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It is thought they stole luggage from passengers after sitting beside them on high-speed trains crossing the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

One man, aged 57, is said to have posed as a woman, wearing a wig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He and two other men, 47 and 40, have confessed to carrying out the thefts over five to six years, French media say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They are believed to have stored stolen goods in a flat in the southern city of Marseille.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The alleged modus operandi was to steal items during station stops after the unsuspecting owners got off the train to stretch their legs or have a smoke.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
