A thief snatched a wallet from a man in a wheelchair.

Police are appealing for help to find the thief who approached a 52-year-old disabled man outside the Abbey National bank, in London Road, Headington, at about 3pm yesterday.

The thief was on a bike and when he got too close the disabled man shouted at him to go away.

But he untied the man’s wallet, which was attached to his wheelchair by a cord and cycled away with £40, bank cards and a bus pass.

Anyone with information should call police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
