CCTV images have been released of two women police want to speak to in connection with a theft that took place in a high street store.

Police have released the images after an elderly woman had a substantial amount of money stolen from her handbag while she was in the WHSmiths store in Worcester on Saturday, January 24 at 10am.

Investigating officer PC Paul Wanklyn said: "We believe that the two women pictured can help us with our enquiries and we would like them to come forward as soon as possible,"

"Equally, if someone recognises either, or both, of them please could they let us know immediately.”

Call 101, quoting reference number 286 of 24 January 2015, with information.

Information can also be given anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
