Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives are on the hunt for a thief who used a stolen credit card to commit a series of deceptions across Melbourne’s south-east.
The credit card was used to purchase cigarettes, a skateboard, gift cards and alcohol at a number of stores in Frankston, Springvale and Mulgrave between 12.30-3.00pm on 13 October.
Each of the purchases were under $100 and were made using tap and go technology.
In total, almost $400 was spent at six stores.
Police are investigating how the credit card was obtained.
Investigators have trawled through CCTV and released images of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
He is described as being Caucasian and aged in his late 40s.
He was wearing a black beanie, glasses, a black jumper, blue jeans and sneakers at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
