Police are trying to find the thief who stole money from a severly disabled man in broad daylight in Poole.

Officers say an unknown man stole thirty pounds from the wallet of a 46 year old wheelchair-bound cerebral palsy sufferer - at the junction of Springfield and North Roads, just before 3pm on Tuesday January 17th.

The offender's described as white, in his twenties and about 5-11 - and he was wearing a white jacket and baseball cap.
