A 90-year-old woman using a mobility scooter was robbed of her purse after withdrawing money from a cashpoint.
The victim took her money out at the Spar shop in Upminster Drive, Nuthall, and did some shopping before leaving and travelling down Mornington Crescent and on to an alleyway toward Temple Drive, at around 3pm Monday, June 24.
A man wearing dark clothing, who police say had been acting suspiciously in the area on a pushbike, rode up behind her, stopped her from moving and snatched her purse before riding off.
The woman was not hurt.
