Police have launched an appeal after a bank card was used fraudulently.
Transfers worth £255 were made in numerous places over two days after the card was lost alongside a mobile phone on Commercial Road in Spalding on September 12.
They’ve released two images of a person they would like to speak to in relation to the fraud.
A police spokesman said: “We are appealing for information after a bank card was used fraudulently to make a string of purchases in Spalding.
“A man lost his mobile phone on Commercial Road between a takeaway and Cley Hall Hotel on September 12. His bank card was in his mobile phone case.
“Over two days the card was then used fraudulently to spend £255 at several different locations, including McDonald’s, B&M Stores and Tesco.
“We are now appealing for information to help identify and locate the man pictured in these photos as we believe he can help us in our investigation.
“He is thought to be in his early 20s, be around 5’10” tall, with light brown hair, clean shaven, and carrying a distinctive blue adidas back pack.
“The man appears to have a tattoo on his right forearm.”
