There were 15 reports of shopping bags stolen from the doorsteps in the St James area between June 27 and July 13.

The thefts of items including milk and other dairy products, are thought to have taken place in the early hours of the morning.

One company says it has had a problem with customer deliveries going missing in this area around the same time.

Investigating officer, PC Ryan Hunt, said: "We have now issued images of three men and are appealing to anybody who recognises them to contact us.

"These thefts are causing concern within the community and place particular difficulties on those who rely on their deliveries, such as people who are shielding or limiting their social contact, the elderly and families with young children."
