Man wanted in connection with credit card theft in Blackpool

The bank cards were stolen from a car which was broken into in Sandgate, off Squires Gate Lane, overnight on May 30.

Officers have since traced the credit cards to a number of unauthorised transactions made at local shops in the hours following the theft.
