A woman in the UK had her faith in humanity restored by local good Samaritans after she had her purse swiped in a shop on Witton Street in Northwich.

The 73-year-old grandmother, Thelma, told Cheshire Police how, while in a retail store on Oct. 27, two females created a distraction before stealing her purse.
