A message from Sergeant Richardson at the High Barnet Safer Neighbourhood Team received this morning:
There has been an increase in purse and handbag thefts on the High Street, generally occurring during the hours of 11am - 2pm.
Most common methods are dipping into open bags, sometimes following the victim from post office and banks after withdrawing monies.
Please ensure bags are not left on shopping trolleys, pushchairs, or on the backs of seats or under seats in restaurants and coffee shops.
There has been increased policing on the High Street to help tackle this.
Please pass this information on to friends and neighbours and be extra vigilant.
If you see anything suspicious, phone 999.
