Can you believe it.
A 93 year old war veteran targeted.
23,000 Pounds taken in a few hours.
Video of this crime.
The victim was withdrawing money when he was distracted by one of the men while another obtains the victim's PIN number and switches his bank card. It was only when he tried to use his card again a few days after the theft he realised the cards had been changed.
Officers said that within a few hours of the theft, which took place on December 14 just before 3pm, the men had withdrawn £23,000 from the victim's account.
DI Simon Bromiley, who is leading the investigation, said:
What is quite clear from our inquiries so far is that these three men were very well organised in their deception and very selective about their victim.
They watched the gentlemen as he came into the bank and then carried out this despicable and callous theft"
