POLICE want to speak to this woman who may be able to help them with their enquiries after a thief went on a spending spree with a stolen purse.

A woman's purse with all her credit cards in it was stolen from her car before a thief went on a spending spree across Pershore.

The cards were used in BP Garage on Three Springs Road, where another female spent more than £140 using the contactless option before heading to Asda and Tesco Express in Pershore and spending more money.

Police are now searching for a woman with distinctive pink and light brown hair who may be able to help them with enquiries. 

She has tattoos covering her whole neck and partially the sides of her face, with a large tattoo covering her right forearm.

Police Constable Matthew Wysocki of Evesham Police, who is investigating the incident, said: “We would like to speak to a female seen on CCTV in the garage on the evening as we believe she may be able to help with our enquiries.

“The female has distinctive pink and light brown hair with tattoos covering her whole neck and partially the sides of the face with a large tattoo covering her right forearm, as seen in this image.

“Any members of the public who think they may have information should email me at matthew.wysocki@westmercia.police.uk.”
