Police have released CCTV images of two men they wish to trace in connection with two quick-fire burglaries at a garden centre in Sunderland.
Northumbria Police received a report on May 15 that Grange Garden Centre, on Thompson Road in Southwick, had been raided overnight.
Money was stolen from a charity collection box and a DeWalt drill was also taken from the premises.
Less than a fortnight later, officers were alerted to a second burglary at the garden centre which occurred on the afternoon of May 26.
Garden furniture and other items equating to more than £1,000 were stolen from outside the centre.
An investigation is ongoing into both incidents, and officers have now released two images of men they would like to speak to.
The first man has distinctive leg tattoos, while the second man was wearing a blue hoody to conceal his identity.
Anyone who recognise the men is asked to call police on 101 quoting reference 266 150519 and 482 260519, or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
