A CCTV appeal has been launched by police after an elderly man using a mobility walker was targeted in a "distraction theft" on a high street in broad daylight. Footage reportedly shows two suspects diverting the victim's attention before making off with a bag of money that had been kept in his walker, prompting officers to seek help identifying those responsible.

The article does not specify the exact location or date of the incident, nor the amount of money taken, but centres on the released footage as the basis for the police appeal. Distraction thefts targeting elderly or vulnerable people are a recognised form of street crime, typically involving one person engaging the victim while an accomplice carries out the theft.
