A Wishaw pensioner was forced to seek help with putting food on the table this month after her handbag containing £400 in cash was stolen during her weekly shopping trip.
She was out shopping on January 19 when she was approached by two people within a supermarket on Kirk Road, believed to be Morrisons. A man started talking to her, and, while distracted, a woman is believed to have taken her handbag, containing a purse, cash and cards from the trolley.
Police have obtained CCTV from the supermarket and are conducting enquiries to trace those responsible.
