Whittlesea Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance to help identify a man who used a stolen credit card at Mernda last month.

The incident happened at a service station on Plenty Road on Monday, 15 June just after 6am.

Investigators have been told a man drove into the service station and filled his car with petrol.

After filling his car, the man walked into the shop area of the service station and purchased cigarettes.

He paid for his purchases with a credit card which subsequently turned out to be stolen.

The man is described as being aged in his mid-20s, with a medium build.

At the time of the offence he was wearing a black beanie and dark clothing.

Police have released two images of a man who they believe can assist with their enquiries.
