These people are wanted by police in connection with thefts in Dover and Sandwich - and help is needed to identify them.

The CCTV images of men and women that the police want to speak to have been released in the hope that someone will recognise them, and turn them in.

Inspector Tony Pledger said: "These images have been circulated within Kent Police to see if these people are known to officers. We now hope that local communities will look at the images and help with our enquiries."

The offences all took place in April and May last year and anyone recognising any of these people should contact 01304 218070, giving the reference with each offence.

Several of them relate to thefts of food and alcohol from petrol stations and shops in Dover, one relates to the theft of a suitcase and washing powder from a Dover store, and the other is in connection with the theft of a bike from Sandwich.
