It stated: "Could I just remind you when shopping in the supermarket ensure that your purse or wallet is secure in your pocket or in a zipped up handbag."

People can get in touch with the Carterton Neighbourhood Team for a security purse bell.

They are attached to the purse and then ring if it is moved to prevent pickpocketing.
