POLICE investigat­ing the theft of electrical equipment worth more than £1,000 at Piccadilly railway station want to speak to these men.

Officers released CCTV images of five men - two of them wearing Arsenal football shirts - and urged the public to get in touch if they recognise them.

It follows the theft of goods worth £1,050 from an electronic­s cabinet at WH Smiths inside the station at 1pm on July 7.

After releasing the images, a statement from British Transport Police said: “British Transport Police officers would like to speak to them in connection with the theft of more than £1,050 worth of goods from WHSmiths at Manchester Piccadilly station, on 7 July.

“At approximat­ely 1pm, a group of five men entered the station and sat on a large bench opposite the main entrance.

“They were then seen at different times to enter WH Smiths, remove several items from the electronic­s cabinet and walk out of the shop without paying.

“Officers would like to speak to the men in these CCTV images because they believe they may have informatio­n which could help the investigat­ion.

“If you recognise these men or you have any informatio­n which could help the investigat­ion, please call 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting 184 of 23 July.”
