A WOMAN has had her bag stolen while she had collapsed.
The 66-year-old victim from Pitsea collapsed inside Primark in Town Square, Basildon, sometime between 11.30am and 12pm on Monday September 26.
While she was being treated, her black handbag, containing a purse and cash, was stolen from her shopping trolley.
Pc Matt Savvides said: "This was particularly callous to steal from a woman who was clearly ill and already in distress.
"I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened or anyone acting suspiciously to please get in touch.”
