A thief stole more than £2,300 from a woman as she left her home in Crawley.
The 50-year-old victim was about to enter her car on the driveway of her home in Three Bridges Road, Crawley, at around 10.15am on Monday, March 25, when she was pushed from behind and had her handbag containing the cash taken.
It is believed the suspect then ran off in the direction of Mitchells Road towards Gales Drive.
Before the incident a man had approached her address and asked to view the house, which had recently been up for sale.
He is described as white, 6’ - 6’1”, in his late 30s, with a full round face, short dark hair and dark eyebrows. He was wearing a dark padded jacket and had an Eastern European accent.
Detective Constable Chris Newby said: “This was a frightening incident for the victim that happened on her own doorstep.”
Anyone who witnessed the robbery or may recognise the man is asked to contact police on 101 quoting serial 0327 of 25/03.
