Officers believe the people in the photographs could have information which will help their investigations and are keen to speak to them as soon as possible.

Detective Superintendent Gareth Morgan added: “The investigation team have had a challenging task in reviewing in excess of 800 pieces of evidence from CCTV and social media footage which has been obtained.

“Given that volume of footage any help the public can offer in assisting with identifying these persons is considerable. I appreciate that the quality of the images is not very clear, but I am hoping that people may recognise some of those in the gallery imagery.”

Police ask anyone who recognises any of these people, or may have information which may help to contact them online, by email or by calling 101 quoting the reference number on the photo.
