Police constable Zoe Baxter, of Cambridgeshire Police's Huntingdon response team, said: "I would like to hear from anyone who recognises these men.

“I would also urge people to remain vigilant and keep purses and bags closed and secure at all times. Carrying bags in front of you or diagonally across your chest can also help prevent thefts.”

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact police online, or by calling the non-emergency number 101 quoting crime reference 35/25956/22.

Cambridgeshire Police have also advised that pickpocket crime prevention advice can be found on the 'Don't let them pocket it' area of their website.
