Officers are attempting to trace a man following a Facebook marketplace theft in Buxton.

The incident took place on Lightwood Road, Buxton during the evening of Sunday, March 5.

A woman messaged the seller on Facebook Marketplace about a Nintendo Switch, and it was agreed they would collect at around 5.00pm.

At that time, a man came to pick up the item and showed a transaction from his account to the sellers – but it was later found that the transaction hadn’t gone through.

This is the man that officers wish to locate.

Officers are investigating the incident and have now released the image of a man they would like to speak to as part of their enquiries.
