Before the theft, the woman had shopped in a grocery store nearby.

- Possibly the man has followed the woman from the store to the address on the church square, says Björn Öberg, the police spokesperson.

The man showed a map and talked to the woman, and then left the house. Soon after, the woman discovered that her wallet was gone.

Seeking witnesses

She should have gotten rid of a small amount of cash.

- Probably the man stole the wallet while he diverted the woman's attention with the map.

Police are now seeking witnesses to the incident.
