Four marines jumped in the sea when they saw fisherman Chris Jackson had been taken ill on his boat in the stretch of water between The Hard and HMS Warrior Portsmouth.

They desperately tried to keep the 63-year-old alive by performing CPR, before pushing the boat back to shore so the waiting paramedics could take him to hospital.

When I was a student I was mugged outside QA hospital, so I have a very low opinion of the Po**y poplace.

If you get found with the wallet then it connects you to the crime, cash is pretty much untraceable. An opportunist theft by the sounds of things.
