Man sought following Hove shop fraud

Police are working to identify the man in the images after a fraudulent incident was reported at a business in Hove.

On 20 June (Saturday) at around 11am, a man was reported to have entered a shop in George St and approached staff members.

He then fabricated a story, alleging that he was delivering pre-ordered goods that were to be paid for on delivery.

He went on to pretend to speak with the shop manager by phone to gain the trust of staff, before he was given money and fled the scene.

We would like to speak with the man in the images, as he may be able to assist in our ongoing enquiries.

If you have any information to help us identify him, or if you witnessed anything suspicious, we ask you to come forward.

Information can be reported online, or by calling 101 quoting reference 589 of 20/06.
