After it was stolen, a bank card from the wallet was used to steal more than £1,800 from the 83-year-old victim’s bank account.

The wallet was taken from the man’s pocket in the Terminus Road area on November 23.

It is believed by police that the man may have been working in conjunction with a younger man and blonde-haired woman.

The suspect is of dark complexion, more than 6ft tall, of large build, with short dark hair, parted on the left.

He was wearing a navy coat with a hood, a burgundy jumper with a darker round collar and light-coloured shirt underneath, jeans and bright red trainers with a white New Balance logo.

A spokesperson for Sussex Police said the three are known to have also been in Hastings some time after the original offence took place.
