Officers investigating the theft of wallets in Ferndown and Bournemouth are issuing images of two men they would like to identify.
It was reported that at around 6.15pm on Friday 11 February 2022 a woman was in the car park of Tesco in Penny’s Walk in Ferndown with her handbag in her shopping trolley.
Two men were seen to approach her, before one took her wallet from the bag and handed it to the other man and they then made off from the scene.
The incident is believed to be linked to another theft of a wallet at around 4.30pm the same day where a man aged in his 80s had his wallet stolen as he left Tesco in Wimborne Road, Kinson.
Sergeant Bill Nightingall, of Dorset Police, said: “We are carrying out enquiries into these thefts and have obtained CCTV images of two men we are looking to identify.
“I would urge anyone who recognises either of these men to please get in touch.”
