The 76-year-old man was targeted by the thieves after they stopped him in an alleyway off Market Street in Kingswinford on the afternoon of Saturday, April 2.

They showed him a map and asked for directions, and while he was distracted stole £250 from his pocket.

PC Paul Bunford from Dudley Police said, "We want people to come forward and tell us if they recognise these two men- they deliberately approached the man, who was elderly and vulnerable – if anyone knows who they are please call police on 101."
