Pickpockets lifted a woman's wallet from her handbag as she shopped at a charity store in Eastbourne.

The victim felt someone barge into her as she shopped at St Wilfrid's shop in Terminus Road in the town centre yesterday at 4pm.

Soon afterwards, she checked her bag to find her wallet, containing cash, credit cards and other personal items, was missing.

Police today released details of two suspects, both white women, one of whom had a young boy with her during the theft.

The first was in her 30s, with ginger hair, 5ft 6in, of slim build, with an Irish accent and was wearing an orange top and denim jeans.

The second was in her mid-20s, with dark hair and was wearing a white sleeveless top and blue denim jeans.
