The trio first came to the public's attention after a pickpocket theft was caught on camera at the Rice-and-Mix restaurant at 1207 Walnut Street on January 10th.
Police say Mosley is the man seen sitting down directly behind the victim and using his jacket to cover her purse, which was hanging on the back of the chair.
