A man has used a fake licence to allegedly steal $10,000 from a business account at a bank in Belmont, according to police.
But a suspicious staff member seized the driver’s licence to stop him making off with a further $15,000 from an East Geelong bank later the same day.
Police investigating the incidents released security camera images of a man initially wearing a trilby hat and a singlet before appearing in a darker T-shirt.
The man in the images “may be able to assist” in the investigation, police said.
The culprit withdrew the $10,000 from the Belmont bank in High Street, about 10am on 14 March, police alleged.
“Later that day he allegedly attended a Garden Street bank in East Geelong where he attempted to withdraw $15,000 before the licence was seized by a staff member who found it suspicious.
“The man is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and was initially wearing a white Everlast tank top and dark pants with a fedora-type hat. He then changed into a dark coloured T-shirt later on.”
Police alleged the wanted man also used fraudulent identification to withdraw money at Melton the same day.
Police urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
