Police are hunting a gang of pickpockets who may be operating in St Albans.

Officers are investigating after three people had their purses stolen on March 29.

They have only just released CCTV images of people they would like to speak to in connection with the incidents.

Two purses were stolen in the High Street, Tring, and one in the High Street, Berkhamsted.

The thieves then used the cash cards at cashpoints and Argos stores in St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage and Swiss Cottage in London.

Anyone with information should call Hertfordshire Constabulary on 101.
