Police have released an appeal in connection with a £56,000 fraud.

A brief statement issued this afternoon said detectives were appealing for information after money was fraudulently taken from a woman.

Det Tracey Nicolson, investigating the incident, said: "This woman has lost a large amount of money to a man who works as a financial adviser.”

They are keen to speak to anyone who has done business with a Mr Fretten, who offers financial and mortgage advice to customers in the Oxford area.

"I am appealing to anyone who may have had contact with this man, or know who he is, to contact the police."

Anyone with information should call police on 08458 505 505 or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers.
