WATCH: Do You Know This Guy With Blue Hair, or The Woman He's With?
If so, Natick police want to hear from you. They are seeking information, as the pair allegedly committed credit card fraud.

NATICK, MA — As Natick police reminds us, credit card fraud is a continuous and growing issue.
"The sale of the information is lucrative and available from several sources," police write. "In discussions with the comparative few we catch we have learned that handlers will recruit individuals to ‘shop’ for them. The ‘shoppers’ are provided with as many as dozens of cards containing fraudulently obtained account numbers. The cards are embossed with the appropriate numbers, the magnetic strip programmed and security features (holograms etc.) added."
This area sees a large number of individuals coming from the New York City area. They're sent to the area where the shoppers actually live, with a target of buying high end merchandise and gift cards. These 'shoppers' get a cut, and then the handlers peddle the merchandise.

On May 5, a victim from southern New Hampshire reported that his card had been used at the Natick Mall, and doesn't know how or when his card information was taken. He still had the credit card in his wallet.
When the victim called the company to cut off the card, police, too, were dispatched to where it was being used.
"Video was obtained, but the clarity is a bit challenged," wrote police. "We are hoping that someone can recognize this pair by their mannerisms, dress and oh yes, his blue hair."
Anyone who can assist with the identification is asked to contact the Natick Police Department Detective Division at: 508-647-9520. You may report anonymously using the Online Reporting system found atwww.natickpolice.com.
