Police are appealing to trace a man linked to a number of romance fraud incidents.

Nub News understands the man has met different male victims via dating sites - and defrauded them of large amounts of money in romance scams.

To help with their inquiries, Hertfordshire police would like to hear from anyone who recognises the man pictured or has information on his whereabouts. He also has links to London, Essex, Kent and Scotland.

Hertfordshire Constabulary's LGBTQ+ Strategic Lead Superintendent Owen Pyle said: "We have specially trained LGBTQ+ liaison officers at Hertfordshire Constabulary who are able to help and support victims.

"Liaison officers can be accessed by contacting us online via www.herts.police.uk/contact or by calling 101.

"Any information you have, no matter how small it may seem, could be key to our investigation so please get in touch. Any information reported will be treated with the strictest of confidence."

If you recognise this man in the image released by police call the non-emergency number 101, quoting Op Hackmore.
