A fraud investigation's underway at a South Wiltshire pub, with around £2,500 thought to have been stolen.

It's believed an employee at the Old Railway Hotel in Porton was using their own card reader to take payments at the bar.

They should have gone through the business account.

Wiltshire Police is now looking into what happened between December 4th and 8th last year.

They're asking anyone who visited the pub on those dates, and has a payment to Take Over Enterprise on their bank statement, to contact officers.

You can do that by calling 101, quoting reference number 54230130869.

Anonymously reports can also be given to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
