TWO people have been arrested in Lichfield city centre after a pensioner was pickpocketed.

Police were called to the B&M Bargains store on Market Street at 1.30pm yesterday (8th April) following reports a mobile phone had been taken from a woman in her 70s.

Security staff had detained a woman in the area, but a man with her made off.

A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:

>  
> “A 30-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman, from Birmingham, have been arrested on suspicion of theft.  
>  
> “They were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.”
