Dear Resident,
The following incident occurred on Saturday 13th September 2025 at approximately 15:10 hours, whereby victim had her purse in shoulder bag on her person while browsing inside ST. RAPHAEL HOSPICE SHOP, 121 HIGH STREET, NEW MALDEN,KT3.
Victim felt something when a female in a wheelchair was close by but did not think much of it at the time. When victim proceeded to pay, victim realised her purse containing £500 in notes along with some documents had been taken out of shoulder bag. Victim believed it was the female in the wheelchair had stolen the purse. Victim recalls seeing the same female in a different charity shop on the same day.
Bag Security Wear it right: Carry bags diagonally across your chest or crossbody, keeping them in front of your body where you can monitor them.
Keep it closed: Ensure bags are zipped or snapped shut to prevent easy access.
Secure straps: Use carabiner hooks to secure bag straps to your body, making them harder for a pickpocket to grab.
Avoid hazards: Do not hang your bag on the back of a chair, as this makes it an easy target.
