An elderly woman had more than £300 stolen by two men who charmed their way into her flat.
The pair called at the pensioner's flat in Elizabeth Court, High Street, Polegate, on Friday.
They persuaded their victim to let them in, then carried out a search and made off with £325 in cash.
Both men were in their late thirties and had northern accents.
One had short dark hair and wore dark clothing. He was 5ft 10in tall and clean shaven.
The other was slightly shorter with wavy brown hair and wore a beige anorak.
Anyone with information should call Eastbourne police on 0845 6070999.
