Police have launched an investigation after a woman befriended a man in the city centre before stealing his wallet.
The 59-year-old victim was approached by a woman that came from the direction of the Keiller Centre in Dundee on Thursday July 1.
Police Scotland said the male and the female visited the Wellgate Shopping Centre, before the incident took place at the corner of Nethergate and West Marketgait at around 3pm.

The female suspect – described as being in her late 20s or early 30s – asked the victim for money before grabbing his wallet and fleeing the scene.
