Officers with the Peterborough Police Service are investigating after a resident reported a pickpocketing incident Monday.
At approximately 1:00pm on February 10, 2025, a 75-year-old resident reported that he had been running errands when he was approached by a man and a woman in the north parking lot at Lansdowne Place Mall near Lansdowne Street and Monaghan Road.
The woman said he had something on his coat and started trying to clean him off when the man approached and started helping her despite the victim declining their help.
