CCTV appeal after spate of mobile phone thefts in Newcastle city centre

Police are investigating a spate of mobile phone thefts in Newcastle city centre.

Officers are currently carrying out enquiries into the thefts which all took place between March and April this year.

A number of phones were reported stolen before police recovered a bag containing 10 phones from bushes on Bath Lane.

They have since been returned to their owners.

Now police have released images of two men they believe could hold vital information.
