Police appeal after attempt to send fraudulently purchased iPad to Giltbrook

An appeal has been launched after a woman's online shopping account was hacked and fraudulently used to purchase an electronic tablet.

The victim was notified that a new iPad was on its way to a Post Office in Nottingham Road, Giltbrook on March 27.

The parcel containing the item was then collected by the victim before anyone else could intercept.

Our officers have been carrying out inquiries ever since and have now released an image of two women they think could help further their investigation.
