Police seek public assistance to identify alleged fraudster

ACT Policing is seeking public assistance following alleged fraudulent transactions and theft of a motor vehicle.

On Friday, November 20 November, it is alleged a man stole a number of items including a bank card from a white Holden Astra at the Red Hill summit car park.

The offender allegedly smashed the car's window before stealing a bag containing a wallet and keys.

Police said the alleged offender was later captured on CCTV completing a number of fraudulent transactions using a stolen bank card at two petrol stations and a supermarket around 6.30pm the same day.

The transactions allegedly amounted to more than $500.

It is alleged the man was driving a stolen silver Subaru Liberty bearing ACT registration YOL41P.

Police have followed a number of avenues of enquiry but are yet to confirm the identity of the man.

Anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website and quote reference 6678267. Information can be provided anonymously.
