Police are asking for the public’s help to find suspected fraudster Mohammed Lutfer Rahman Khan.
The 29-year-old is wanted by City of London Police having failed to attend court to face charges relating to setting up fraudulent credit card accounts.
Khan used to live in Waltham Cross but is now believed to be living in east London.
The appeal follows the conviction of two men, Shakeel Malik, 49, from Middlesex and Akhtar Shabarz, 38, from Woolwich, London, for offences of fraud by false representation and a third man, Sandeep Singh, 35, from Birmingham, for conspiracy to commit fraud.
The three were handed suspended sentences at the Old Bailey on Friday 8 July 2011, having previously pleaded guilty to the offences.
The men had used fraudulent documents to open credit card accounts and then made legitimate payments into the accounts in order to build up credit with the banks. They then paid fraudulent cheques for large amounts into the accounts before immediately withdrawing the money.
Anyone with information on Khan’s whereabouts should call City of London Police in confidence on 020 7601 2222. Alternatively, call the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where mobile phone tariffs may apply.
