A £19,000 fraud has sparked a police search for a man who is believed to hold information regarding the incident.

The victim was reportedly persuaded by two men into parting with £19,000.

They claimed to have a winning lottery ticket but needed assistance in claiming the money due to their immigration status.

It is reported to have taken place on Wednesday, May 30, in Trinity Road, Gravesend.

Officers have released an image of a man who they believe has information that could assist with the investigation.
