A lapse in attention caused one woman to be briefly separated from her phone on Tuesday evening.
She had plugged her device in to charge at her sister’s market stall and decided to put her feet up as she waited.
A passing thief helped themselves to the phone, before fleeing the scene.
The woman passed a description of the crook on to local police, who were able to snare the snatcher, and reunite the woman with her phone.
