Moonee Valley Criminal Investigation Unit are appealing for public assistance to identify a thief who used a stolen credit card in Melbourne's north-west last month.

Police have been told a wallet containing a credit card was stolen from a car in Strathmore in the early hours of 14 February.

The victim's credit card was used to purchase gift cards later that morning at a number of service stations and supermarkets in Taylors Lakes, Watergardens, Delahey, Brimbank, Deer Park, Keilor Downs and St Albans.

It is believed the male offender made more than 40 transactions valued at $2000.
