POLICE investigating an attempted fraud incident in Hexham have released an image of a man they would like to trace.

Officers say workmen visited an address in the town on Thursday, September 8, and offered to tarmac a drive way for free, but later demanded payment.

No money was handed over but an appeal has now been issued to encourage the man pictured to get in touch.

The man or anyone who recognises him is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101 quoting reference number 950 of 08/09/16.
