The man police want to talk to

Filed Under: Crime, News

Police want to talk to this man after a restaurant was scammed out of £66.

It happened at 12.36pm on Saturday 3 May at Slim Chickens, York Designer Outlet.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “It involved a man who used what is known as the ringing the changes fraud, to confuse a member of staff and make off with £66.

“Please contact us if you recognise the man pictured from the CCTV, as he may have information that will assist our investigation.”

The ‘ringing the changes’ scam works when the fraudster pays in cash and then confuses the member of staff into giving them back more than they owe.
