Halifax police are turning to the public for help finding two people accused of fraud.

Police say in May, a person had their wallet, with credit and debit cards inside, stolen from their coat pocket while at an undisclosed restaurant in Halifax.

On May 8, police say several purchases and ATM withdrawals were made around the municipality.

HRP has now released photos of the suspects and is asking for help identifying the two men.

Anyone with information is asked to reach out to police or to send in an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
