Scumbag Couple Rob Elderly Pensioner in Gosport
A ruthless male and female team targeted an elderly man in Gosport, snatching a large sum of cash moments after he withdrew money from his bank on Monday afternoon, December 17.
Pair Pretend to Ask for Directions – Then Strike
The crooks approached the pensioner inside the bank, feigning a need for directions to the hospital. Moments after they left, he realised a hefty amount was missing from his inner jacket pocket.
“I only felt a small tap and thought nothing of it,” said the victim. “My jacket zip was still done up the whole time.”
Warning: Stay Alert at Banks and ATMs
- Be wary of strangers striking up unexpected conversations while you withdraw cash.

- Report suspicious behaviour to bank customer service immediately.
