Police are on the look-out for heartless crooks after they stalked a pensioner and stole her purse.
Officers from the Northamptonshire force have released cctv of the incident in an effort to identify two men.
The theft took place on January 5 when the woman entered a shop on Corporation Street, Corby, Northants, at 11.50am.
Footage shows one of the men reach around the woman and remove her purse from her coat pocket – the other appears to hide his actions from a passersby.
The victim realised her purse was missing when she reached the store’s tills.
It is thought she was followed to the store after making a withdrawal from a nearby bank’s cash machine.
