Police are hunting two brazen thieves who were caught on CCTV stealing a pensioner’s purse while she bent down to pick up some food in a branch of Aldi.

The victim was pushing a trolley in the store, in New Coventry Road Sheldon, Birmingham, when she stopped to browse the bottom shelf of the fridge section.

CCTV footage shows two crooks approach the woman and while one walks over to distract her the other reaches into her bag which was hanging from a hook on the
trolley and steals her purse.

One of the men was white, middle-aged, wearing glasses and had short-cropped hair while the other was Asian, wearing a blue denim waist coat and short-sleeved white shirt.
