CCTV images have been released by police after £2,000 was allegedly stolen from an elderly woman shopping in Nottingham. The 86-year-old victim had taken a bus from Bulwell to Nottingham city centre on Tuesday, December 6 and arrived at around 12.40pm.
The woman had a coffee and then visited the Lloyds bank in Lower Parliament Street at around 2.12pm, where she took out £2,000 cash and placed it in a envelope at the bottom of her handbag. According to police, she had been followed into the bank by two women and watched, before shopping at the Victoria Centre.
Police believe the elderly shopper was then asked to help another woman retrieve an item from a shelf. As she left the shop, she noticed her handbag had been rifled through and that her envelope was missing.
