A man in his late 90s had his pension stolen by a thief in a hoodie who rode past on a bicycle.

The theft occurred along Paine Road in Norwich on Easter Monday, April 5, between 11am and 11.30am after the elderly man withdrew his pension from the Co-op cashpoint nearby and began walking home.

An unknown man, believed to be in his 20s, of slim build and wearing all-black with a hoodie pulled up, then rode up on a bike and took the money and bank card from the pensioner's pocket.
