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Two women reportedly followed a woman in a wheelchair from a bank, where she had withdrawn cash, into Poundland at 2.15pm on Saturday, October 23, a police spokesperson said.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