DETECTIVES are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward after an elderly man was robbed in Northfields last weekend.

The victim was heard shouting for help, which alerted a member of the public who came running over.

He then informed the witness that he had been robbed of his debit card and travel card.
