CCTV images released of men hunted by police after Edinburgh city centre thefts

Cops have released CCTV images of two men they are hunting following a string of thefts in Edinburgh city centre five months ago.

The incidents took place on Monday August 15, Tuesday August 16 and Wednesday August 17, although the exact location in which they were carried out remains unclear.

Police Scotland have launched a probe into the events, and detectives believe the men pictured may hold information which could assist in their ongoing investigation.

The first man is described as white, 25-30 years of age and of heavy build. He spoke with an Eastern European accent.

The second man is described as white, 25-30 years of age with short brown hair. He had distinctive tattoos on his right forearm and the back of his neck.

The men involved should make contact with officers (Police Scotland)

Officers want the men, or anyone who has any link or details about them, to come forward.

Constable Ross Cruickshank of West End Police Station said: “I would urge these men or anyone who knows who they are to get in contact with us.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact officers through 101 with reference number 1233 of 19 August, 2022. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.”
