Police have released a new image in their hunt for two men who stole more than £14k of camera equipment from a shop on Station Road in Montpelier.
The items were taken from the Montpelier shop between 2.20pm and 2.45pm on Saturday, February 5. Police say that the offenders ran away in the direction of Cheltenham Road following the theft.
Officers now think that the offence is linked with a separate theft in Milton Keynes and have released an image (above) from a phone found at the scene of that second theft.
