THOUSANDS of pounds could have been withdrawn from a bank account after a wallet was stolen in Weston.

Police are asking for the public to help identify a man who they think might be able to help with their enquiries into at least four fraudulent withdrawals of £500.

The money was taken out after an employee of North Somerset Council had their wallet stolen on December 4.

It is thought there could be other instances that have occurred in the Avon and Somerset Constabulary area.

Anyone with any information should contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
