DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?

A callous yob goes on a £3,000 shopping spree - using a credit card stolen from an old woman.

The frail victim, 74, lost her credit card when her purse was snatched during a dead of night burglary at her home in Leigh, Greater Manchester.

Over the following three days the card was used about 40 times to buy houshold goodies.

The card was mainly used in the Leigh area, but purchases were also made at the Trafford Centre and retail parks in Bolton and Wigan.

PC Danny Ritchie, from Wigan Police said: "Not only has this woman's home been invaded, her credit card has then been repeatedly used to run up a huge bill.

"Burglary is an awful and invasive crime that can have lasting consequences for victims.

''We are determined to find the person responsible for this offence and bring them to justice.

"I would appeal to anyone who recognises the person in the CCTV image to call police as soon as possible."

Anyone with information is asked to call 0161 856 7255 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
