Police hunting heartless fraudsters, who conned an OAP in his 90's out of £3,400, plus his gold cufflinks and coins, are hunting this female suspect.
On Friday, January 10 at 9.58am, the elderly Westminster victim received a call on his phone.
The caller identified themselves as a police officer and claimed he needed the help of the OAP with a 'sting operation.'
The victim was deceived into going to the bank and withdrawing £3,400 from his account.
The gent returned home and a woman later attended his address.
He handed over the money and two bank cards to her.
The same woman returned to the victim’s home later and he handed her some gold cufflinks, antique coins and some commemorative coins.
He was reassured that his property would be looked after and would be returned to him within a few days.
Detective Constable Michael Esangbedo said: “A vulnerable, elderly man was persuaded to hand over a large sum of money and items that were precious to him.
“I am very keen to speak to the woman in the photograph we have released and urge anyone who can identify her to please get in touch.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC.
