POLICE are asking for the public’s help to find Paul Ternent, 52, from the Bournmoor area of County Durham.

Officers working with Trading Standards want to speak to him about a number of alleged frauds, thefts and money laundering offences against vulnerable people in North Yorkshire, Durham and Northumbria.

The incidents involve a man posing as an handy man who befriends his vulnerable victims and manages to persuade them to take out loans and credit on his behalf and hand over large sums of money.
