Don't be distracted by thieves

Police are warning shoppers to be careful after people have been approached in supermarket car parks in both Sudbury and Ipswich by thieves keen to steal their credit cards.

The rogues use a number of different ploys to persuade the unwary to open their wallets.  Sometimes they offer a bank note, pretending that the shopper has dropped it.  The shopper opens his or her wallet to look and somehow a bank card is magicked away.  On other occasions the thief will ask for change for a bank note, with the same result.

Do be vigilent!  More than one supermarket car park in Sudbury has been targetted.
