A CCTV image has been issued by police investigating a theft at a Hampshire supermarket.

The victim had been shopping in Waitrose on Oakmount Road, Chandlers Ford, and was looking at items in the chiller cabinet next to the meat counter.

She felt that somebody was standing very close to her shoulder and soon after realised that her purse containing all of her bank cards and about £40 in cash had been stolen from within her handbag.

Police would like to identify the woman shown in the CCTV still as it’s believed she may have information that can help with the investigation.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact PC Paul Osborne at Eastleigh police station by phoning 101 or call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
