A fraudster is alleged to have gained a refund for shopping she had not purchased.

The suspected swindle took place at a branch of the Co-op supermarket in Maidstone on January 29.

It is reported that a woman entered the store in Week Street at around 2.30pm and returned the good, including alcohol, for a reimbursement.

Police officers investigating the alleged fraud have now issued CCTV images of a person they believe could help with their enquiries.

Anyone who has information that may assist the investigation is urged to call Kent Police on 01622 604100 quoting reference 46/15121/21
