Police appeal for help in search for phone con-man

Officers want to speak to this man after an elderly Dudley woman was conned of more than £8,000.

The 78-year-old victim received a phone call from someone falsely claiming to be a police officer who advised her to withdraw cash.

The man on the phone then advised it was fake and would have to be collected.

This man is then understood to have picked up the cash from her home in the Russells Hall area of Dudley on 5 October.

Anyone with information is asked to contact officers via Live Chat, or by calling 101, and quote 20DY/242133U/20.
