The victim, a 54-year-old from Saltdean, had just left Ladbrokes, on South Coast Road, at around 9.30pm when a man grabbed her bag containing £800 cash, a phonebook and a smart phone before running off along Roderick Avenue.

The suspect is described as a white man, between 5’8” and 5’10”, of slim build and was wearing a dark blue hooded top.
