Officers investigating the theft of a purse and subsequent fraudulent use of a bank card are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to identify.
Some time on Tuesday 18 April or Wednesday 19 April 2023, a purse was stolen from the Poole or North Dorset area.
A bank card, which was in the purse, was subsequently used to make fraudulent transactions in the Yeovil area, totalling over £3,725.
Police Community Support Investigator Lindy Wilson, of Dorset Police, said: “An investigation is underway to establish exactly where the purse was stolen from and when.
“As part of my enquiries, I have obtained a CCTV image of a man believed to be using the stolen bank card and I would ask anyone with information about his identity to please come forward.”
