Shoppers need to be on their guard following opportunist bag snatches.
A 68-year-old woman had her bag snatched outside the Scala supermarket in Moorland Road, on October 18. The incident happened at 5pm after she put her handbag on the ground for a moment.
A white teenager aged 12 or 13 grabbed the bag and ran off leaving the woman shaken and frightened but otherwise uninjured.
