At around 3.25pm on Wednesday, September 18, police received a report of a theft at Marks & Spencer in Kingston Park.
It was reported that a man had approached a woman and removed her handbag from the trolley before leaving the store. The bag is said to have contained a number of valuables, including bank cards, a mobile phone and £100 cash.
The victim did not sustain any injuries but was left understandably shaken by the incident.
A number of enquiries have been carried out by officers since the report was first received to locate the offender.
