This is the moment a 76-year-old woman was robbed by two men at a cash point in an ordeal which her family believe may have triggered a stroke just hours later.
The pensioner - who is now in hospital in a critical condition - was targeted by the men as she withdrew £200 from a Lloyds cash machine in Victoria Street, Westminster.
Footage from the scene shows how she was approached by two people who told her she had not used the machine properly.
The confused woman entered her card again and tapped in her pin number while the men watched her.
They then distracted her further and made off with her card.
The woman’s family believe the upset caused by the incident caused her to have a stroke later that evening.
She remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Police today released CCTV footage of the robbery, which took place on Thursday, January 28 at 1.35pm in a bid to identify the men responsible.
Detectives are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the incident or recognises the men.
The first suspect is described as a black man of medium build, aged 20 to 30 years-old, wearing dark clothing.
While the second man is also a black man, who wore a a blue-grey cap, black coat with a white collar and a blue-grey shirt.
