Odds are against pickpockets

Police want to interview these two men snapped at an Osborne Park TAB.

Pickpockets who stole a woman's purse in a Nedlands shopping centre may have pushed their luck by trying to cash betting tickets.

Winning horse racing bets were in the purse taken from the woman's bag at Broadway Fair shopping centre.

Subiaco policeman Andrew Broadley said: "The woman remembered the names of a couple of horses she had bet on and called the TAB to alert them."

Two days later, two men were filmed trying to cash the tickets at Osborne Park TAB.

Anyone with information about the men on the film or the theft of the purse on December 29 is asked to contact Const. Broadley on 9381 6811 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
