Police are hunting three people in connection with the theft of a pensioner’s purse just before Christmas.

The woman in her 70s had her purse stolen on Wednesday December 4 while she was shopping on Lord Sheldon Way in Ashton.

Her bank card then used to take more than £1,000 from her account.

GMP say they believe the man and two women pictured “can assist with their investigation”.

A statement from the force said: “If you have any information about this incident, or recognise the people pictured, please call police on 101 quoting log 0017 of 05/12/2024.”
