Police have issued images of two men they want to identify following the theft of £200,000 worth of luxury handbags in Mill Hill last week.

The items, which also included luxury watches, were stolen in a burglary from a location in Bunns Lane between 10.30pm and 10.50pm on Tuesday 3rd December.

Officers would like to speak to the two men in connection with this offence.

Detective Sergeant Joe Halsey said: “I would ask people to look at these images and see if they recognise the two men shown. They were taken in Bunns Lane earlier on the day of the theft.”

He added: “The owner of the business is understandably distraught by what has happened and we need assistance to apprehend those responsible.

“At this time we are working to establish whether this burglary is linked to any others.”
