POLICE are investigating two purse thefts, one of which happened in Wimborne.
CCTV images of two suspects have been released by officers after a purse was stolen from a woman aged in her 60s as she shopped in Waitrose on Rowlands Hill.
The incident happened at around 10.20am on Saturday, May 4.
A second purse theft happened outside Nationwide in West Street, Bridport.
The victim, also aged in her 60s, and from Romsey in Hampshire, withdrew cash from the ATM outside the bank.
She then went into five charity shops before returning to her car, which was parked on South Street. It was at this point she noticed her purse containing bank cards was missing. At around 3pm £400 was withdrawn using her bank card.
CCTV enquiries were carried out in relation to both of the thefts, and the man and woman pictured are suspects in both incidents.
