Preston Police think two women robbed two pensioners on same day
The force has called it 'despicable and callous'
Police in Preston now think two pensioners were robbed by the same two women on the same day.
An 89-year-old man had his wallet stolen from his pocket after going into Novellos Clothing in Fishergate to wish the staff a Merry Christmas.
That happened at around 11am on Tuesday 20 December.
In the afternoon on the same day, an 85-year-old woman had her purse stolen from her handbag in Stringers Dept Store in Lytham.
PC Danielle Lilley, of Preston Police, said:
"These crimes are despicable and callous acts of theft from elderly victims and I would urge anyone who knows these women or who has any information to get in touch."
Anyone who knows the women pictured above is asked to email 2456@lancashire.police.uk or call 101, quoting log 420 of 20 December 2022.
