CCTV images have been released in the hunt for thieves who stole a purse from a woman in Cheriton.

The item is said to have been taken from the victim's bag as she was shopping at a High Street supermarket on Wednesday, September 11.

A bank card is then reported to have been used in three fraudulent transactions.

As part of their enquiries, officers are now in a position to release images of two men who they believe will be able to assist with the investigation.

Anyone who recognises the men is asked to call Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting 46/176409/19.

Alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or using the anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org
