Police release images of people they want to speak to following alleged £4k theft

Police have released images of three people they want to speak to an alleged £4,000 theft. At around 11.30am on October 14, a man - described by detectives as 'vulnerable' and using a wheelchair - withdrew the money from Barclays Bank on Market Gate in Warrington.

After leaving the bank, the man returned to his car at the car park on Legh Street. Cops say he was distracted by a who began talking to him. A second woman is alleged to have entered his car and stole the £4,000 cash.

As part of the investigation, officers have released CCTV images of three women they want to speak to.

Police Cinstable Graham Davies, of Warrington Town Centre Beat Team, said: “From our initial investigation it would appear at that that the suspects have followed the victim across Warrington after watching him withdraw the cash.

“After stealing the money we believe that the offenders have fled in a taxi, which took them to the Paddington area, but from there we’ve been unable to trace their whereabouts. Although it is likely that they have travelled to Warrington from another area. As part of our ongoing investigation, we’re keen to identify the three women in the CCTV images, as we believe they may hold vital information.”

Anyone with any information in relation to the identities of the women is urged to contact Cheshire police at www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, or call 101, quoting 24000875860.
