An elderly woman was left “shaken up and upset” after her purse was stolen from her bag while shopping at a supermarket in Ely.
The 86-year-old’s daughter said her mother was shopping at Tesco on June 23 when she became the victim of pick pocketing.
She alleges that “two women obviously working together as pick pockets” stole her mum’s bag, which was in a shopping trolley.
The daughter added: “I think it is about time Tesco put a sign up as this is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
“My mum is very shaken up and upset.”
