A group of men used false information to obtain a mortgage from a high street building society.
Following the approval of the mortgage and transfer of funds into another person’s account, two men withdrew £10,000.
The large cash withdrawal was made from a branch of Barclays in Prestwich, Manchester in June last year.
Immediately after the money was taken, bank staff became suspicious and froze the account.
Detective Inspector David Sinclair said: “This was a sophisticated and complex fraud. We are very keen to speak to the man pictured about his involvement in the crime and if you think you recognise him I urge you to contact police on the numbers listed below.
“It is not easy to con a bank into releasing mortgage funds, so there is a strong chance this man may perpetrate similar offences in the future.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
