A pickpocket who was the 1,000th to be arrested by a special police team in Amsterdam will not be prosecuted because she was humiliated and traumatised enough by the celebrating officers, the public prosecution department said on Wednesday.
The police fixed a sign saying '1000' to the back of the woman's coat, which was captured on video and broadcast by a local television station.
A spokesman for the city police force has described the action as 'extremely inappropriate'.
