Police are hunting a man with a ginger beard and Swedish accent who is wanted for conning a vulnerable man out of a ‘significant' sum of money.
Detectives issued a CCTV image of the man they want to identify in connection with a fraud that happened in Thornbury.
“The victim gave a man a large amount of cash believing he was paying a deposit for a holiday home however the man has since disappeared,” said a spokesperson for Avon and Somerset police.
“The offender is described as white, with a ginger beard and who speaks with a Swedish accent,” he added.
The wanted man drove a silver BMW 7 series car which had a foreign registration plate.
“If you recognise the man in the image, or have any other information which could help our inquiry, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5219022321,” the spokesperson added.
