A heartless thief snatched a 75-year-old woman's handbag just moments after she had collected her pension from the post office.
The woman was walking in Castleton Road, Southchurch, when the thief rode up behind her on a bike and grabbed her bag, which had her £150 pension in it.
The cyclist made off towards Poynings Avenue before the woman could get a good look. Anyone with information should contact police on 01702 431212.
