POLICE have released some CCTV images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with the theft of a number of mobile phones from a shop.

The images relate to an offence which took place on Wednesday, May 2 at around 1pm.

The offenders entered the Vodafone store in Queensway, Stevenage, and asked for a brochure. They then left, but came back in a few minutes later.

While one offender distracted the shop assistant, the other took a number of handsets from the display and left the store with the other offender.

PCSO Saroj Machin, who is investigating the incident, said: “We are very keen to trace the men in these photos as we believe they may have information that could help us with our inquiries.

“If you recognise them, please contact me on 101 – the non-emergency number and quote crime reference number E1/12/2711.”
