"I was serving when it happened. They were right at the back of the queue.
"The victim is an elderly gentleman, he's a regular customer and a lovely guy.
"Apparently they noticed when he took a fiver out of his wallet, and then put it back in. They distracted him and then disappeared.
"It is quite disgusting someone could stoop so low. They were not youngsters".
The incident took place in the Post Office branch last Thursday, September 12, sometime between 12.45pm and 1.15pm.
The victim's brown leather wallet contained a quantity of cash, a driving licence, a credit card and keys, and were removed from the left hand pocket of the pensioner's jacket.
The wallet was later recovered a short distance away at Oaktree Avenue, Sketty, with only the cash missing. Police have issued a description of the two men they want to speak to in connection with the incident.
The first suspect is male, white, and aged 50 to 60 years old.
He is of thin build, 5ft 10 ins tall, had a ginger beard and was wearing a white jacket and carrying a Co-operative chemist bag. The other man officers want to speak to is described as white, 5ft 7 ins tall, and was wearing a blue tracksuit.
Police are appealing for anyone who was either in or around the post office at the relevant time and saw the suspects, or who can assist in identifying them, should call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting occurrence number 62130287960.
