Police are looking to hear from anyone who may have been approached by a man seeking cash 'for the journey home' at UK airports.
On September 10, officers said a 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation.
It follows reports of passengers in the North terminal being approached and asked for small amounts of cash.
According to poilice, a similar report was received on August 31 after a passenger handed over £20 cash to a man.
He has been described as white and in his forties.
He reportedly said he was a language teacher who had just arrived from Germany and needed the money for a bus fare, to get home to the North of England.
After being interviewed over the offence on 31 August and the incidents on 10 September, the man was released on police bail until 8 October while enquiries continue.
PC Roxanne Carpenter of Sussex Police said:
"We are asking anyone who has been approached at a UK airport in a similar way recently to get in touch with us."
Anyone with information is urged to contact 101, quoting serial 749 of 31/08.
