AS POLICE continue to hunt for the crooks behind a spate of thefts in Hexham town centre, CCTV images have been circulated.

The images have been taken from security camera footage from Bin 21 wine store in the Market Place.

The store was among those targeted in a mini-crime wave on Saturday, September 10.

Police are keen to speak to the men shown in the footage in connection with the incident. Northumbria Police believe the same perpetrators are behind the shop thefts and suspect that all four incidents may be linked.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101.
