Do you know this man? Police seek public assistance to identify alleged fraudster

Picture supplied by ACT Police

The police are asking the public if they recognise a man caught on CCTV after a car was broken into and credit cards taken.

They allege that on Friday the man "stole a number of items including a bank card from a white Holden Astra at the Red Hill summit carpark".

"The alleged offender smashed the car's window before a bag containing a wallet and keys was stolen," police said.

Officers said the alleged offender was later captured on CCTV making a number of fraudulent transactions totaling more than $500 using a stolen bank card.

He was seen at two petrol stations and a supermarket around 6.30pm on the same day.

They say the man was driving a stolen silver Subaru Liberty bearing ACT registration YOL41P.

Police say they are yet to identify him.

They are seeking the public's help: "Anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 6678267. Information can be provided anonymously."
