lookwhaticando Posted 16 November 2006 Posted 16 November 2006 From the region where lads shove fireworks up their arse and light them... 'Bag ladies' sought after theft Two elderly women are being sought by police after a wallet was stolen from a bag that was taken off a train. CCTV footage of the bag ladies British Transport Police (BTP) issued a CCTV picture of the pair of grey-haired women clutching the bag on a platform at Sunderland Railway station. The bag is believed to belong to a student who was travelling on a Metro train and while it was later recovered there was no sign of the wallet. Officers have urged anyone who recognise the women to contact them. The CCTV images show the women, thought to be in their 70s, with the bag as they walk out of the station in Sunderland city centre. Both were wearing knee-length skirts, white shirts or blouses and carrying shoulder bags. Both are described as having grey hair. A BTP spokeswoman said: "We are appealing for anyone who may recognise, or have any information regarding the identity of the women to come forward in the strictest confidence. "We believe the two females may be able to assist with inquiries into the theft of a wallet from a bag at Sunderland Railway Station. "We have released images of the suspects and are appealing for anyone who may recognise, or have any information regarding the identity of them."

lookwhaticando Posted 16 November 2006 Author Posted 16 November 2006 And in the short space of time between me posting that article and going back to the BBC News website, the story has been updated! Two women in their late 70s have admitted taking a wallet from a bag which was left on a train on Wearside. CCTV images of the women rummaging through the bag, were issued by British Transport Police (BTP) after the incident at Sunderland station. The elderly pair handed the bag in to station staff, but later admitted removing the wallet first. A BTP spokesman said the duo gave themselves up and were subsequently cautioned after admitting the offence. He said: "Two females being sought by the British Transport Police in connection with a theft at Sunderland Station have handed themselves in to police. "They have subsequently been interviewed and have admitted the offence. "Both have received police cautions." BBC News | Wear

Thracian Posted 16 November 2006 Posted 16 November 2006 Its always the ones you least expect You might be surprised. Anyone in the antiques/collectors trade will tell you that the people to be most wary of when buying, selling or when someone's "just looking" are the proverbial little old ladies or people in suits and ties!.
