Police hunting for two women after Mexborough shopper pickpocketed

Two women reportedly followed a woman in a wheelchair from a bank, where she had withdrawn cash, into Poundland at 2.15pm on Saturday, October 23, a police spokesperson said.

"Once in Poundland, it is believed that the pair held items of clothing in front of themselves to try and hide their actions, before proceeding to take the victim’s purse," said the spokesperson.

"They then made their escape from the shop before the victim realised what had happened."

Police would like to identify the women in the images as they believe they will be able to help with their enquiries.

Anyone who was in the shop at the time and recognises the two women in the pictures, and anyone who has information, is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 14/164113/21, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
