Tag-team pickpockets woman in Fitzroy bar
Pickpockets have targeted a Fitzroy bar patron, relieving her of her wallet from her handbag, and then using her credit card in the same bar straight after it was stolen.
The woman, 21, of Ivanhoe, has told investigators she was talking to a man at a Johnston Street bar, in Fitzroy, on Sunday, October 11, just after midnight.
The woman was wearing her handbag over her shoulder when she felt someone touch her back.
She thought nothing of it at the time, but a short time later found her wallet had been taken from her shoulder.
The woman's credit card was later used at the same bar later that morning, at a convenience store and to book an online taxi service from the bar
On Saturday, police released images of two people they believe may be able to assist them with their investigation.
Investigators are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
