A woman in her 70s had her phone and bank card stolen, with police now releasing an image of two men they would like to speak to in connection to the event.

At around 3.40pm on Thursday, February 15, a woman was followed by a man out of the Sainsbury’s store in Hook before her mobile phone and credit card were taken from her jacket pocket.

The man then passed her card to another man. Her credit card was then used to pay for a £50 transaction in the same store.
