AN opportunist thief stole a bank card after a distracted mother accidentally left it in a self-service till at Tesco in Freshbrook.

The victim was shopping at the store between 6.20 and 6.30pm on November 1 and was paying for her shopping when her child took up her attention and she walked out leaving her card in the machine.

Another woman queuing behind her spotted the card and took it.

Police have issued a CCTV image of a woman in connection with the theft.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Wiltshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
