A WOMAN had her purse stolen from her handbag as she pushed her trolley around Tesco in Huntingdon.

The woman asked her about a label on an item of food. After giving an explanation she proceeded to a checkout, where she realised her purse, which contained cash and several cards, was missing.
The thief is described as white, in her late teens, with dark hair tied up and attractive.
