Leeds Live Gofundme for pensioner who 'can't sleep' after life savings swiped as he put away walking stick

"I feel such a fool this has happened to me, I can't sleep at night."

These are the heartbreaking words of Leeds great-grandad Kevin, who had taken out £15,000 of his hard-earned savings to give to his children (an early inheritance) to celebrate his recovery from cancer - only for a callous thief to pounce and steal it all.

The image pictured here is the man West Yorkshire Police want to speak to in connection with this awful crime. After speaking to Kevin and hearing of his heartbreak - he has gone through two years of treatment for cancer and now this - the team at Yorkshire Live and Leeds Live want to help him and restore his faith.
