It is understood a woman had deposited cash at an ATM at a Springvale Road shopping centre on 5 September and accidentally left her card in the machine.

A man discovered the card in the ATM and used it to withdraw an amount of cash.

The card was then used to purchase items at a service station at the corner of Ferntree Gully and Springvale roads, Wheelers Hill; a shopping centre on Dandenong Road, Malvern East; and a shopping centre on Victoria Street, Richmond.

Detectives have since released images of a man who they believe can assist with their enquiries.

He is perceived as Caucasian in appearance, aged in his late 20s and about 185cm tall with a solid build and a sleeve tattoo on his left arm.

The man was also wearing glasses.

Anyone with information or who recognises the man is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
