Two schoolgirls suspected of stealing wallet from Bishop’s Stortford Library
Police are investigating after two schoolgirls were suspected of stealing a wallet from Bishop’s Stortford Library.
At around 5.30pm on Thursday January 9, the victim was using a computer at the library in The Causeway and printed off documents. He went to collect the printing and when he returned to the computer his wallet was missing.
A spokesman for Hertfordshire Constabulary said: “It is reported someone attempted to buy something in a nearby shop with a card which was in the wallet.”
A friend of the victim posted on social media that two girls wearing school uniform had taken the wallet, used a card from it in Sainsbury’s in Jackson Square and stolen cash too.
“And then you threw one of his bank cards in front of Tesco Express while you were walking home,” the friend posted.
