Two women had their handbags stolen from their cars as they waited in stationary traffic.

The victims were targeted in separate incidents in Fosse Road North and Glenfield Road, both in Leicester.

On both occasions, a man opened the passenger door, asked for the time and then took the victim's handbag before running away.

Officers at Leicester's Hinckley Road police station are investigating two thefts, both of which happened on Tuesday, November 13.

Police believe the same man might have been responsible.

Sergeant Rod Smart said: "We want members of the public to be aware and consider their own personal safety.

"While you are out and about in your car there is no harm in locking your doors, or perhaps if you see someone approaching your car, lock your doors then.

"If you see an incident like this happen, please immediately call police.

"The sooner we know about the incident the sooner we can begin investigating and catching the offender."

Contact Leicestershire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, which is anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
