A man who was heading on a two-week holiday to Australia from Doncaster had his suitcase stolen onboard a train.

British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a woman they would like to identify in connection with the theft.

Police said the theft took place as the victim travelled from Doncaster to Manchester Airport on October 18.

Pc Wayne Heslop, of BTP, said: ``The victim boarded the 1.42pm Doncaster to Manchester Airport service with his wife at Doncaster station and placed his luggage, which included a laptop and all his possessions for a two-week holiday, in the luggage racks of the train.

``As he checked his luggage at Sheffield station, he noticed that his bag had been taken.''

Officers have spoken to passengers on the train, downloaded hours of CCTV and circulated images on police intelligence systems.

Pc Heslop said: ``We have seized very clear CCTV images and I'd ask anyone who may know recognise the woman to come forward and help police with this investigation.''
