THREE women posing as customers are thought to be behind the theft of a purse from a carpet store in Kenilworth yesterday.

A woman working alone in Dowson and Gillard left her handbag in the back stock room of the Talisman Square, shop, with the door propped open.

An older woman asked for help and two younger women were flicking through carpet samples at the back of the shop, near the stock room.

When they left, the shop worker found her handbag had been tipped upside down, and the Burberry check purse, with pounds 79 cash, bank and credit cards, cards and photos, was gone.

The older woman was in her 40s, 5ft 4in, and very, very thin, with black or very dark brown hair, just past shoulder length, and an unkempt appearance. She wore trousers and a red round-necked jumper.

Another was aged about 18, 5ft 4in, and slim. She has mousy brown hair in a high ponytail, and a blue baseball cap.

She had a spotty chin, and wore a blue or grey hooded top and low-cut jeans. She had bitten fingernails and rings on her right hand.

The other young woman, about the same age, was 5ft 2in, of a stockier build, with shortish, bleached blonde hair.
