Scratch Card Thief Still Not Found

We know we normally tell you all about all of the online scratch card treats you can look forward to, or top slots promotions – but today we thought we would give you the scoop on a woman who has stolen a massive £1,200 worth of scratch cards and is yet to be found! Allegedly she has stolen paper scratch cards from stores on 10 different occasions between the dates of the 29th June and the 11th July! Her tactic was to have a chat with the shop assistant’s and then distract them whilst she steals a batch of cards – simple but evidently effective. The items were taken from shops in Ripon, Harrogate and Knaresborough around North and West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.

There was an original appeal from the North Yorkshire Police urging the public to give them any information they could about the woman on 24th July. There are 3 CCTV images to look at giving a clear view of the suspect. She is in her late twenties to early thirties, is white, of a medium build, tall and has long blonde hair which she typically wears in a ponytail or a bun. She is wearing a different outfit in each of the images shown. Surprisingly even with all of that information – the North Yorkshire Police are still no closer to catching the culprit.

Because of this they have renewed their appeal to bring this crime to attention once again and hopefully either refresh the memory of someone who may have information on her or reach people that haven’t yet seen the images before in a bid to get further information on her whereabouts. As the appeal can be viewed online – it is possible that she herself knows that the Police are on a mission to find her and is being even more careful to remain untraced.

Members of the general public have been directed to Crimestoppers if they do know anything and there is an incident number and point of contact for them to speak to. She must be fairly confident that she would get a win from all of those stolen scratch cards – otherwise why would you risk all of that? One things for sure – it appears it will only be a matter of time until she is found.
