Burglars posed as police officers to steal £200 from a 94-year-old man.
The pair entered their victim's house in Bellhurst Road, Robertsbridge, at about 3.30am on Wednesday.
They made an untidy search of the house, then woke the pensioner, told him they were police officers searching for burglars and demanded money.
He gave the two men £200 and they left.
The burglars were both white with dark hair and in their early thirties.
Anybody with information should contact PC Lockey at Hastings police station on 0845 6070 999.
