DETECTIVES are today hunting for a cashmere-clad conman who targeted golf clubs in the Ipswich area.
The man is believed to have attempted to cash bogus cheques at two clubs while dressed in traditional golfing attire in an attempt to trick staff into believing he was a member.
It is understood that Rushmere Golf Club, in Rushmere Heath, and Ipswich Golf Club, in Bucklesham Road, have both been targeted in the scam.
The incidents took place on December 2 and 3.
It is believed the man attempted to cash cheques in the clubs' golf shops.
