It is alleged the theft happened after the victim was distracted during a visit to Lockmeadow Market. The victim attended the location on 24 July 2021 and her purse was contained in a bag which was on a child’s pushchair. It is reported that between 11.30am and 11.45am an unknown woman asked the victim to pass her something she could not reach. As she reached for the item an accomplice then stole the purse from the bag.
Officers investigating the allegations have now issued images of three women who they believe may have important information.
