Appeal to Identify Man After Fraudulent Card Use in Bitterne

Hampshire Constabulary has released a CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with a bank card theft in Bitterne.

An investigation is underway after a woman accidentally dropped her bank card at the Post Office in Bitterne, Southampton, on Friday 4 July at around 3pm. Shortly afterwards, the card was used without the owner’s permission to purchase items at various stores.
