A CCTV image has been released in the hunt for those responsible for the theft of elderly man's wallet.

A bank card from the wallet was subsequently used to steal more than £1,800 from the victim's account.

The wallet was taken from the 83-year-old man's pocket in the Terminus Road area of Eastbourne on November 23.

It is believed the man may have been working in conjunction with a younger man and blonde-haired woman.

The suspect is of dark complexion, more than 6ft, of large build, with short dark hair, parted on the left.

He was wearing a navy coat with a hood, a burgundy jumper with a darker round collar and light-coloured shirt underneath, jeans and bright red trainers with a white New Balance logo.

The three are known to have also been in Hastings some time after the original offence took place.

Anyone with information is asked to email 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting serial 659 of November 23.
