On January 10, the 90-year-old victim was targeted by two suspects purporting to work for a drain company, said police.

The victim believed that they were legitimate as they had ID badges.

The suspects asked the victim to hand over his bank card and pin number to pay for the service.

They left the address with the first bank card withdrawing money and later returned requesting further cards and bank details which the victim complied with, said police.

Police want to speak to the man pictured in connection with the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to report online or call 101, quoting serial 679 of 10/01.
