Police are appealing for the public’s help in finding two men wanted in connection with the theft of fuel from pipelines.

Officers have released CCTV images as part of ongoing enquiries into thefts from fuel lines across the UK, in areas including Kent.

Investigations by officers have so far led to the arrests of nine people and police are continuing efforts to identify further suspects.

Detective Constable Angela Holder said: "We are asking anyone who may recognise these men to get in touch.

"We believe they can help with our enquiries in what continues to be a major and widespread investigation into the theft of fuel from underground pipelines.

"These incidents have occurred in a number of regions across the UK, whereby highly specialised and dangerous techniques will have been required to siphon fuel from pipelines which operate at very high pressure."

Anyone with information should call DC Holder on 07800 675316.
