Gang Snatches Big Cash From Elderly Man in Wembley
Police have launched an urgent appeal after a brazen theft targeted a 76-year-old man in broad daylight. The victim was followed into a Harrow Road bank on Tuesday, 3 May, at around 12:20pm, where he withdrew a large sum of money to pay his plumber.
Pickpocket Gang Strike Outside KFC
After leaving the bank, the pensioner headed to a bus stop outside KFC on Wembley’s High Road, ready to board the Route 18 bus. That’s when trouble struck. A gang of pickpockets blocked passengers from boarding, creating a distraction that allowed two women to snatch the cash and make a quick getaway.

Police want to track down three suspects linked to the theft. They’ve released images of the pair of women and one man believed to be involved.
