Conman steals £90 from pensioner, 85
About £90 was stolen from an 85-year-old man who was approached by someone at Oxford Retail Park claiming to be a store detective.
The customer was walking across the Oxford Retail Park car park in Cowley on Sunday, June 21 at about 3.50pm when he was approached by the man claiming the pensioner had paid with a counterfeit £20 in a store.
He asked to check the 85-year-old’s other notes and then left with the victim’s cash.
The thief was white, in his late 20s to early 30s. He was wearing a tan top and had long hair tied up into a pony tail and was clean shaven.
