Policeman: Let me just start by putting down the date. It's the fourteenth of July today. So your name's … ?

Sophie: Sophie Meunier, I'm from France.

Policeman: That's S O P H I E and your surname is M E … ?

Sophie: M E U N I E R.

Policeman: OK, thank you, Sophie. So you're here in Bournemouth on holiday?

Sophie: Yes. I came to learn English for the summer.

Policeman: And you're staying with a host family?

Sophie: Yes, Mr and Mrs Perkins. The address is thirty-five West Way.

Policeman: That's thirty-five West Way, Bournemouth.

Sophie: That's correct.

Policeman: And your telephone number?

Sophie: My mobile, is: 78209208816

Policeman: That's 78209208816

Sophie: That's right.

Policeman: OK, Sophie. So your handbag was stolen.

Sophie: Yes, it was a small leather handbag. Really pretty.

Policeman: And what colour was it?

Sophie: Black. I only bought it two weeks ago.

Policeman: And what did you have in it?

Sophie: Let me see, my student ID, about thirty pounds and … a bus season ticket.

Policeman: Right. Now, you say that it was stolen in the shopping centre in Castle Lane. And what time was it?

Sophie: Well, it was after lunch time. I had something to eat with my friend and then we decided to do some more shopping. So it was … about 1.30, I think.

Policeman: And did you see who stole it?

Sophie: Yes. It was a man in his thirties, I think.

Policeman: And what did he look like?

Sophie: He was an ordinary-looking man, quite tall and slim, with short dark hair. He was wearing jeans and a yellow T- shirt. No, it was not yellow. I think it was orange. Orange or yellow …

Policeman: OK, Sophie. I've got all the details now. And I've got your address and telephone number. We'll contact you as soon as we know something.

Sophie: Thank you very much.

Policeman: All right. So what's the date today? Fifteenth of July. I've got it now. So you saw the man we're looking for. Let me just write down your personal details. Your name?

Policeman: Robert M A C …

Robert: L O U G H L I N.

Policeman: L O U G H L I N?

Robert: One hundred and fifty-five, Charminster Road.

Policeman: Hold on a second. One hundred and fifty-five, Charminster Road. And his telephone number?

Robert: 0202523009

Policeman: Let me just read it back to you: 0202523009. Right?

Robert: Yes, that's right.

Policeman: So, Robert. Yesterday you saw the man we're looking for. When and where exactly was it?

Robert: It was in Castle Point shopping centre, outside the bank. My friend and I were just walking past when we saw this strange-looking man running very quickly.

Policeman: And what time was it, do you remember?

Robert: It was after one, I think. Yes, we got home at two. So it was between one and two p.m.

Policeman: Did you see the moment when the man stole something?

Robert: No, actually I didn't. I saw a young girl and a man but not very clearly. You see, they were quite far away. But I saw when the first man passed something to our man and he started running very quickly in my direction.

Policeman: Aha, so you saw two men? Can you tell me more about the one that you saw very clearly - the one that ran towards you? How old was he, do you think? And what did he look like?

Robert: He wasn't very young - in his fifties, I think. And he was quite short and overweight. I remember his face, I saw it very clearly for a moment, it was round and, oh, yes - he had a big scar on his face!

Policeman: And what about his hair?

Robert: Oh yes, I remember he was bald.

Policeman: And what was he wearing?

Robert: Just an ordinary black woollen jumper and jeans, but I didn't notice the colour of those. And one more thing …

Policeman: What's that?

Robert: He was carrying a big plastic bag.

Policeman: Now, can you tell me a bit more about …
