Devon & Cornwall Police have launched a public appeal for information following a reported burglary and subsequent fraud in the Heavitree area of Exeter. Officers have released images of a man and woman they wish to identify in connection with the incidents.
The burglary took place between 4pm and 5pm on Friday, March 14, when a woman’s purse—containing bank cards and a quantity of cash—was stolen from a residential property.

As part of their ongoing enquiries, officers have now released CCTV images of two individuals they believe may be able to assist with the investigation.
