Police are appealing for information after a suspect stole £800 from a man in his 80s as he tried to pay for a car.
Officers have issued a photo of the car on the delivery truck at the time in the hope that it may jog people’s memories.
The incident happened in Harrogate at around 2pm on 6th February when it is believed the suspect followed the victim to his bank on Station Parade and back again as he attempted to pay the delivery driver.
