Hertfordshire Police have released an image of a man they wish to speak to who might be able to help their enquiries following incidents in Hemel Hempstead.

Police say that numerous victims have allegedly been scammed via Facebook Marketplace, with the suspects turning up to collect items and showing an image of a bank transfer on their phone which has then failed to materialise.

An alleged offence has also been identified in Luton.
