Police want to speak to these two people after a York supermarket was scammed out of cash.

Officers believe this man and woman may have information about a series of money-counting distraction incidents in and around Monks Cross shopping centre.

The con is known as ‘ringing the changes’.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We’re investigating a number of similar incidents at the same location but one in particular took place around 4pm on 11 December 2021.

“A man and woman entered the Sainsburys store at Monks Cross, requested to change some cash and then used distraction techniques to leave with a profit.

“This is a common technique used by criminals and can be incredibly confusing for shop staff.”

If you can identify either of the individuals pictured or have any other information about similar incidents at Monks Cross, you can contact police on the numbers below.
