Police have released an e-fit image of a suspect as they hunt for a thug who shoved a pensioner against his car and stole his disabled parking badge and walking stick.

The attacker cornered his victim, who is aged in his 70s, in the car park of Morrison's in Caterham, East Surrey.

He is alleged to have pushed the man against his car after he returned from shopping in the supermarket on Church Walk at about 1pm on April 14.

It is also claimed he stole the pensioner's disabled parking badge, a fishing licence and a steel walking stick from the car.

Surrey Police are hunting for a bald white man, aged between 20 and 24-years-old, in connection with the attack.

He is described as about 5'8" with a round face, blue eyes and thin lips. He was clean shaven and wearing light blue jeans with a light grey short sleeved t-shirt which had a logo on the left side. He was also wearing white trainers. His victim described him as having a southern English accent.

Detective Constable Joanne Sewell, who is leading the investigation for Surrey Police, said: "If anyone recognises the man pictured, or the man sees or hears this appeal himself, I would urge them to get in touch with officers immediately.

"This man may have vital information which could help aid the ongoing investigation."

Anyone with information can contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference number 45150030422 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
