Police hunting elderly muggers who squirt liquidised excrement

Police are hunting elderly muggers who squirt liquidised excrement at victims before snatching their cash.

The couple, both aged about 70, have grabbed £11,500 in cash in attacks outside banks in East Sussex.

Victims Albert and Doreen Croucher lost £4000 of their life savings in Eastbourne.

Albert, 58, said: "I felt this blast on the back of my head from the buildings above us. The smell was instant and vile.

"A lady, who seemed very kind, came over with tissues and helped clean it off me.

"It wasn't until we got back to our car that I realised she had fleeced me."
