Hunt For Heartless Mugger: CCTV Released


This is the ruthless robber police are hunting for targeting a lady pensioner who had just withdrawn hundreds of pounds in cash from her bank.

The suspect followed the woman – aged in her sixties – out of Barclays Bank, Stanmore Broadway, Stanmore, North London on August 26 and pounced nearby.

He had observed her withdrawing £700 cash inside the branch and trailed her to her car parked nearby.

As she sat in the car the suspect falsely claimed she had a flat tyre before opening the door, grabbing her handbag and fleeing with it after a short struggle.

The suspect was chased down a road at the side of Sainsbury's, but managed to get away.



He is described as being of Asian or Middle Eastern appearance, approximately 5' 10" tall, wearing a brown leather jacket and black shoes and spoke with a London accent.



Harrow Police released the CCTV image.
