CCTV images have been released following a suspected theft in which a teenager lost his wallet.

At around 1.30pm on Friday, April 12, an 18-year-old man from Weymouth lost his wallet while shopping in Poole town centre.

One of his bank cards was used shortly afterwards for two transactions at the Premier Stores and Co-Op on Ashley Road in Parkstone.

£30 worth of scratch cards were bought on each occasion. 

Officers investigating the suspected theft have now issued CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to.

Police Constable Jennie Sykes-Martin, of Dorset Police, said: “We have been able to obtain CCTV images of the man believed to have carried out the transactions at the Co-Op store, who is reported to have spoken with a Scottish accent.

“I am appealing to anyone who recognises this man or who has any information about his identity to contact police.”
