An investigation is under way after a stolen bank card was used in a shop in Sunderland.
Shortly after 10.15pm on November 1 last year, officers received a report of a theft at a premises in the Hylton Road area of the city.
Officers say a woman's bag which contained bank cards and tobacco had been stolen.
One of the stolen bank cards was used a short time later on the same evening in Uncle Sam’s convenience store, on St Luke’s Terrace.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: "An investigation has been launched into the incident and officers have now released the image of a man they would like to speak to.
