TWO men on bicycles stole £115 from a 79-year-old man as he walked through Park South.

The robbers approached the victim on Taplow Walk at around 10.10am on Saturday. While they cycled past him, one reached into the man's left breast pocket on his shirt and stole the cash before heading towards Priory Road.

The main suspect is described as a white male aged between 15 and 20, between 5 ft 9 and 6 ft tall, of average build. He had dark hair and was wearing a black baseball cap, a black top and black trousers.

The second male suspect is described as white, aged between 15 to 20 years old, of average build. He also had dark hair and was wearing a black baseball cap, a grey top and grey bottoms.

PC Daniel Laurie said: “No force was used during this incident and no threats were made towards the victim but it is likely to have caused him upset.

"The incident happened within a matter of seconds. Police were called immediately and attended the scene to carry out an area search but were unable to locate the two males involved.

“The main suspect cycled off with the second male and they were last seen going towards Priory Road, so we are urging anyone with information to contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information should call 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
