There has been a small series of distraction thefts in the North Dorset area where males have approached people returning to their vehicles after shopping and asking for written directions to somewhere.
Whilst the victim is assisting this person, there is a second person who has accessed the vehicle and stolen handbags and or purses. The victims bank cards have then been used either in the store or at near by cash points.
It is believed they are aware of PIN numbers as they have been watching their victims whilst in the shops.
Please cover the pinpad when making purchases.
Photographs of the suspects are available on the Dorset Police website www.dorset.police.uk
