The incident took place in the summer of 2020 when a man was scammed into handing over thousands of pounds for roofing work that was not completed.

Police have reviewed CCTV footage and have appealed for the public's help to trace the man, seen walking near the Cancer Research charity shop in High Street.

A force spokesman said: "Officers have been reviewing CCTV in connection with the incident and the man in the footage walking towards the camera, wearing shorts and a white top with a stripe on it, has become a person of interest.

"Anyone who recognises the man in the image should call Northamptonshire Police on 101.

"Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."
