A newsagent had her purse containing £70 stolen after being distracted while serving in her Thame shop.

A man entered The Chocolate Box in North Street on November 17 and began talking to the 60-year-old woman about special interest magazines.

A second man then slipped behind the counter and stole the purse.

The first man was aged about 30, 6ft 1ins tall, and was slim with short dark hair.

The other man was shorter but similar in build.
