A CCTV image has been released after multiple elderly shoppers had their purses stolen from a town centre.

Customers in Primark, the Card Factory, Boots and B&M were targeted in Gravesend between the beginning of January and March.

Police believe the victims were spotted withdrawing cash before the suspect bumps into them or distracts them and then steals their purse.

Multiple pensioners have been the subject of thefts in the town centre.

It's thought the thefts are being carried out by a group of people who are working together.

Now, police have released an image of a woman they want to speak to.

Anyone who recognises the woman or has information which may assist should call police on 01474 366149 quoting reference 46/2961/23.
