She turned round to see a woman quickly walk past without entering the shop.

When she checked her bag a short time later she realised her purse containing her bankcard had been stolen.

The woman reported the theft to her bank and was informed that £350 had already been withdrawn from a cash machine in Swinton.

Police are now hunting for a man and a woman who were captured on CCTV in a near-by store later.
