POLICE have released CCTV images of three people they are trying to trace after a woman in her sixties had her purse stolen in Oxford city centre.
The woman was standing at the bus stop in St Aldates at around 2.45pm on Wednesday, June 20 when two people approached her and stole her purse in a pick-pocket theft.
