OFFICERS have released a CCTV of a man they want to speak in connection with allegations of identity fraud.
Several victims living near Twickenham Close, North Swindon, reported that bank accounts had been opened using their personal information, as well as replacement mobile sim cards and credit cards requested without their consent.
All of the incidents occurred between April 9 and 19.
PC Samantha Kelly, from Swindon North CPT, urged residents to be vigilant with their personal information which could be used in identity thefts, as well as not posting details on social media.
She added: “We’d really like to speak to this person, seen in the area around the time of the offences – we believe they are using one, or both, of these cars.
“We believe personal information used was obtained after post was taken from the victim’s mailbox and recycling boxes.
“Please be aware of how fraudsters love easy access to your personal information – ensure you letterbox is secure, shred any confidential mail, don’t post personal information on social media and report any suspicious activity to us.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
