Officers are investigating a suspected case of fraud by false representation after the cards were used for a number of transactions.
A mobile phone case, belonging to a woman in her 60s, was lost in the Oldfield Park area on Thursday 26th September. She kept a number of bank cards inside the case.
A couple of days later she reported the matter to the police after a bank statement showed subsequent transactions had been made from her account at businesses in the Moorland Road area.
Police are carrying out enquiries to establish if someone has found the bank cards and then fraudulently used them to pay for goods.
CCTV enquiries have been undertaken, and an image of a man who officers hope the public can help identify has been released.
He is described as male, Asian, of medium build and has a distinctive shaved parting to his hair.
Anyone who can help identify the man, or has any other relevant information, is asked to contact Avon & Somerset Police online or call 101 and quote reference number 5224256258.
Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously on 0800 555 111.
No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded and you will not go to court or have to speak to police when contacting Crimestoppers.
