AN 84 year-old man was pickpocketed while he waited for a bus.

At around 11.30am this morning (Sunday) the OAP was waiting at a Market Place bus stop.

When the bus arrived, a man spoke to the driver, holding up a queue of people who were waiting to board.

During the delay two other men approached the elderly victim from behind, stealing a wallet from his pocket before leaving the scene.

Investigating officer PC Victoria Driver, of Reading Local CID, said: “The men pictured in these CCTV images could have vital information about this incident, so I would encourage them, or anyone who knows them, to please get in touch.

“If anyone has any other details about this incident, I would also like to hear from you.

“Please call the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number on 101.”
