Leicestershire Police are carrying out enquiries after receiving reports of an 84-year-old man being mugged on Wednesday afternoon. 

According to his daughter, Willie Murdoch, age 84, was mugged by the bus stop outside the church at around 12.45 on Wednesday. 

Police were informed of the event, reporting that 'the wallet was taken from a bag belonging to a man in his 80s. The person making the report [Willie's daughter] stated the man fell to the ground during the incident.' 

His daughter said he was injured and very shaken up after the incident, saying: 'My dad is 84 and is quite frail. I can't believe that they would do this to my dad, he is a well-known face of the village and a lovely man who wouldn't hurt anyone.' 

'Enquiries into the incident are continuing and no arrests have been made at this time,' said local Police.
