A CCTV image of a man wanted in connection with the theft and assault of a woman in Beccles has been released by police.
After taking money out of an ATM, a woman in her late 70s was shoved by a male who then took the cash.
The incident happened at about 9.15am on Friday, December 3, 2021.
Thought to have left the scene in a silver Golf, the suspect is described as white aged in his 20s or 30s and about 5ft 5 tall.
He was of slim build and spoke with an eastern European accent.
Subsequent police enquiries established that the suspect stole £500, not £50 as initially reported at the time.
