POLICE are yet to find the callous thieves who pushed a man off his mobility scooter before robbing him.

The victim, in his 60s, was attacked along Norway Road, Hilsea, on the afternoon of December 17 between 3pm and 3.20pm. Two men came up behind him and demanded money before shoving him off his scooter, stealing his GoPro and a small amount of cash as he approached the BAE Systems entrance at the Williams Road/Anchorage Road roundabout.

The pair fled towards Morrison’s on Anchorage Road. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary have released descriptions and an e-fit image of those connected to the robbery.
