Police are hunting a heartless thief who helped a frail, elderly woman enter a building only to then make off with her purse.
The suspect stole a ‘substantial amount’ of cash from the victim after he helped her through a heavy door.
The 97-year-old woman was visiting a Conservative Club when she was helped through with her trolley by the seemingly kind man who donned a flat cap and coat.
The middle-aged gent helped the frail lady through the door of the club before rifling through her pockets and lifting her purse.

The suspect, who was captured helping the gran on CCTV, stole her purse as he held open the door and helped the pensioner push her trolley inside, police believe.
