The money, which had been secured in a white envelope, was subsequently discovered missing from the trolley a short time later, the force added.

Sussex Police believe the males may have been following the lady after seeing her withdraw the money from the bank.

If you are taking out a large amount of cash from the bank, please secure it inside a pocket or bag / purse that is worn under a coat, alternatively, ask a relative or friend to accompany you to and from the bank.
