POLICE are warning supermarket shoppers to watch their handbags after thieves targeted a frail, elderly woman in Sainsbury's Hereford store at around 1.30pm last Sunday.
The victim, who was dressed in a long beige jacket and scarf, reached to pick up an item from the refrigerated food aisle and when she went to place it in her trolley she noticed her handbag had been stolen.
The bag is made of brown leather and contained a bank card, glasses, a wallet and a purse with cash inside.
Anyone with information should contact PC Ben Mitchell on 08457 444 888.
