A bailiff was robbed moments after collecting a debt.

The 62-year-old debt collector was in Ringmer Drive, Moulsecoomb, Brighton, at about 6pm on Monday having just visited an address in the area when he was attacked by three men.

The men, who wore hoods and scarves over their faces, bundled the bailiff to the ground and took £524 from him.

His attackers ran off leaving the victim shocked but unhurt.

Sussex Police is appealing for witnesses who may have seen the attack or the three men fleeing the scene.
