In the last message sent out in September, an article in the News from your Community Policing Team mentioned about keeping your purses and wallets safe.

Recently a female was passing a car parking Pay and Display on Lord Street. A man was standing by the meter and asked the lady if she had change for a £1 coin. As she gave him the change she felt a slight touch on her purse, she asked him what he was doing. He apologised and gave her his £1 coin for the change. It was only when she got home she noticed a £20 note had been taken from her purse.
