Police today issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a purse theft in Henley.

He is believed to have stolen a yellow Radley wallet from an elderly woman as she was shopping in Waitrose, Bell Street, Henley-on-Thames at about 3.30pm on October 19.

The suspect brushed past the victim as she was shopping and she immediately spotted her wallet was missing from her handbag. She ran after the man, and although she briefly got hold of him, he ran away.

He is described as slim, white, in his late 20s, 5ft 8in tall. He was wearing a grey three-quarter length coat.

Anyone with information, should contact PC Cheryl Ross via the 24-hour non-emergency number, on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or leave your name, call the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
