Police search for man after pensioner has money stolen

The victim, a man in his 80s, was walking along Montague Street, Worthing, at around 4pm on Saturday, June 9, when he was approached by a man.

The suspect reached into the victim’s pocket and took £200 in cash, which the victim had withdrawn from a cash machine shortly before the incident.

PC David Hedgecock said: “This was a cowardly attack on a vulnerable person who is, understandably, very upset and distressed by what occurred.
