LATE night revellers are being urged to be vigilant after police noted a number of reports of 'bag-dipping' in Blackpool town centre.
A Blackpool police spokesman said: "It's very easy to become complacent after a drink or two and stand around with handbags or coat pockets open or unchecked.
"But we advise people to get into the habit of constantly watching their personal property when out and about in town."
