Two people are being sought by police for a theft in a coffee shop.
Suspects 159263 and 159264 are both wanted after a woman's handbag was stolen from Costa Coffee in High Road, Leytonstone, on August 26.
The victim was sitting remotely in the shop when the two thieves sat close to her.
One of them then hooked the victim's bag, which was next to her feet, dragged it away and then walked off.
The bag contained a £50 purse, £80 in cash and bank cards.
CCTV has been passed to the Guardian as part of a joint venture with the Metropolitan Police to identify potential perpetrators of unsolved crimes in the borough.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Waltham Forest police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
