Police have released CCTV footage which allegedly captures the moment an 86-year-old woman’s purse was stolen from her shopping bag.
The woman suffered a heart attack a short time after her purse was taken from her in the post office in Castle Donington earlier this month. She has since been discharged from hospital and is “recovering well at home”.
Leicestershire Police released the CCTV footage of the alleged theft, which happened as the woman was shopping in the Borough Street post office around 10am on Saturday, September 1.
A 23-year-old man from Birmingham has been arrested in connection with the incident. He has since been released under investigation.
