“Please read their appeal and contact them if you have any information.” Sussex Police added: “Trodd, 27, has been linked to nine frauds across Sussex and the south east of England.

"He is also known as James Harland or Martin Ashbrook, and is linked to East Sussex but may be in other places across the South East and London.” Anyone who knows his potential whereabouts is advised to call 999, quoting Operation Glasshouse.
