AN E-FIT of a man who snatched a wallet from an 85-year-old man at a bus stop in Cheltenham has been released.
The incident happened at about 1pm on Monday, 6 October in Tommy Taylor's Lane, Cheltenham.
The offender struck up a conversation with the elderly victim, then produced a folded £20 note and asked the victim if he had dropped it.
Despite saying 'no', the victim did remove his wallet from an inner jacket pocket, at which point the offender grabbed it and ran off towards Swindon Lane.
The wallet contained cash, cards and a driving licence.
The suspect is described as white, in his late 30s and thin with a 'bony-looking' face. He had dark brown untidy hair. He wore a black long-sleeved rain coat.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting incident no 245 of 6/10/14
