DETECTIVES investigating a burglary in have released the pictures of two men they would like to speak to.

Northumbria Police received a report of a burglary at an address on Spencer Street, in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear, on December 1 last year.

At some point between 11pm on November 29 and 4.30am on November 30, it is believed offenders entered the property and stole a purse which contained cash and credit cards, as well as keys to a vehicle parked outside.

Police understand they then carried out a search of the vehicle, before leaving the keys inside the van and making off.

An investigation was launched and officers discovered the suspected stolen cards had been used at a garage on York Avenue, in Jarrow, and at Asda, in Boldon Colliery.

As part of ongoing enquiries, detectives have now released the images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

They were known to have been in the supermarket on the night in question and could assist officers with the investigation.

The men, or anyone who recognises them, is asked to contact Northumbria Police on 101 quoting reference 521 011218.
