A warning has been issued after fraudsters targeted two jewellers and a hotel in Tayside recently.

Police believe that an organised group of four men carried out the attacks and think they will try again.

He was wearing a black North Face puffa jacket with a red top and a white Adidas t-shirt with grey Adidas jogging bottoms with a dark strip plus black Nike trainers with white markings.

The final suspect is of black ethnicity, in his 20s, five foot eight inches tall and of slim build. He was wearing dark clothing including a baseball cap, long jacket, jeans and trainers.

All four men are believed to have spoken with a London accent.

The men used a card in the crimes and it is a lime green colour with no embossed numbers and it is believed it is a poor replica of a genuine card.
