Officers investigating the theft of a purse in Apsley have released an image of a man they would like to speak to as part of their enquiries.
It happened at Sainsbury’s on London Road between 11am and midday on Wednesday, November 28.
The victim, a woman in her 70s, returned her trolley to the bay after she had finished shopping. She went to put the £1 used to borrow the trolley back in her purse, but after looking in her handbag she discovered it was gone.
A short time later, £300 was withdrawn from her account. The victim has since had this reimbursed.
PCSO Jake Smith, from the Hemel South East Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “We are keen to speak to the man pictured as we believe he was in the area at the time and may have information which could help progress our investigation.”
