Police CCTV plea over attempted fraud in Wellington shop

Police investigating reports of an attempted fraud at a Wellington shop have released a CCTV image of a person they want to speak to.

Officers said a man entered the Buy and Save store in Fore Street at around 3.20pm on Monday, February 4.

"He wandered around the store and picked up two tins of paint and took them to the counter, where he asked for a refund," said an Avon and Somerset Police spokesman.

"When asked for the receipt he said he had called the store the previous week and was told that he could return the pots of paint without a receipt.
