On Tuesday evening a woman visitor staying at the Ariel Sands Hotel had her wallet stolen while she was out having dinner.

Later that night thieves struck twice at a Pembroke hotel. A wallet containing cash and credit cards was stolen from the bedside table of a Florida visitor's room and in the second incident a wallet belt was taken from a female visitor.

The victim awoke in the early hours of the morning and saw somebody in the room but went back to sleep. She was later able to give Police a description of the intruder.

On Wednesday night a fourth unlucky visitor, staying at the Brightside Hotel, Flatts, had her purse stolen.

The opportunist thief struck some time between 10 and 10.30 p.m.
