Witness appeals for several incidents on the north area
Police are appealing for witnesses to several incidents on the north area.

The woman has been described as being white, 28 to 34-years-old and of slim build. She is 5'5" tall with mousey hair in a bob style.
PC James Walford, the investigating officers, said: We believe that someone inside the supermarket watched the victim type in her pin number and then targeted her in a distraction theft outside. I would urge people to be aware of this type of scam and to call police if they are approached.
