Police investigating a car parking scam in Sussex have identified a man they would like to speak to.

The suspect approaches a vehicle owner where they need to pay for parking and tells them that an enforcement officer has taken a photo of their vehicle and they will need to get a new ticket.

He then escorts them to the pay machine and through distraction tactics steals their bank card.

The most recent incident happened at Queen Victoria Hospital car park in East Grinstead.

He is described as aged between 20-30 of middle eastern appearance, around 5’ 4” with short black hair, wearing large, black-rimmed glasses. You can see an image of him below.

Anyone with information which could help the police are asked to contact them on 101 quoting serial number 1293 of 09/05.
