There were 5 separate incidents yesterday of pick pocketing in the borough. These were in Childs Hill and Mill Hill. All the victims were elderly. One was on a bus, one whilst shopping and the rest in the street. Only one group of suspects were actually seen. These were eastern European women.
It's vital that handbags are kept to your front and should be zipped up or difficult to get into. These suspects will distract their victims such as asking a question or pushing. Beware of people invading your personal space particularly on buses, in shops or near cash machines.
A good tip for the ladies is to tie a cat bell on the handbag, these are cheap and are available at pet shops etc.
If in doubt about any suspicious persons call 999.
