Police have released CCTV and are appealing to the public to help identify a woman following the theft of two designer handbags in Southbank last month.
Investigators have been told a woman attended a shop at the Whiteman Street complex about 12.50pm on 19 May.
The woman requested to try on some handbags before further requesting to try on some shoes.
As an employee went to retrieve shoes from the storeroom, the woman concealed the handbags in another bag before fleeing the store.
