A heartless thief robbed a woman at a cashpoint at a Birmingham supermarket. The crook struck as a victim in her 80s withdrew cash at Asda Queslett in Great Barr at around 1.30pm on Sunday, August 13. The woman had requested £200 from the cashpoint and just as the money was being dispensed, the thief grabbed her hand and pushed her into a wall. He then grabbed the money and fled. The victim was shaken and alerted security guards who took her inside the store for a coffee. The man was caught on CCTV stealing the money and was believed to have been known to staff at the store.

He then left on his toes. “Luckily, they got a camera image of him and from that the supermarket security guards said they ‘know of him’.

She said: “I spoke to her Sunday and she was shaken up and shocked. “I saw her on Tuesday and Wednesday and she was talking about what happened. She has been out with me when I have been dog walking. If she needs to take money out again I said I will go with her.
