Police investigating a distraction theft in Rickmansworth are releasing an image of a man they would like to speak to for help with their enquiries.
An elderly couple were using a car park ticket machine in Ebury Road when they were approached by a man who offered to assist them.
He then told them their card had been retained by the machine.
He walked off, stating he would contact the council to come and help.
Suspecting that something wasn’t quite right, the victims contacted the bank and discovered that cash had subsequently been withdrawn from their account.
Officers would like to speak with the person pictured as he may have information which could assist the investigation.
