UPDATE: TWO teenagers suspected of stealing a purse from another pub-goer before using her credit card to pay for a booze-filled night out have handed themselves in after police released security footage.

Yarra Crime Investigation unit detectives yesterday appealed to the public to help identify two young women in CCTV images they wanted to speak with over the “opportunistic” crime.

Both 18-year-olds, from Melbourne, were interviewed and released pending further inquiries.

Police said the teens were expected to be charged at a later date.

Investigators have been told a young woman was in a Brunswick St pub in Fitzroy when her mobile phone and purse were stolen about 12.15am on November 14.

The victim’s credit card was subsequently used to buy alcohol at the same pub.

It’s believed the credit card was then used to buy food, drinks and other items at a number of venues in Fitzroy and St Kilda.
