Identity sought after Frankston burglary and deceptions

Detectives from Frankston Crime Investigation Unit are hoping to identify a man following a burglary and subsequent deceptions across Melbourne's south last month.

Investigators have been told an unknown man broke into a business on the Nepean Highway in Frankston about 1.45pm on Thursday, 26 August.

The man stole a wallet inside a filing cabinet before leaving the premises.

Shortly after, the man used stolen credit cards to purchase items totalling over $1,200 from stores across Frankston, Glen Huntly and St Kilda between 1.50pm and 5pm.

Investigators have today released images of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.

The man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance with a solid build and short dark hair.

He also has distinctive cross tattoos behind his right ear and on his right thumb.

Anyone who recognises the individual or who has information that could assist police with their investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
