Replica police uniforms have been stolen from a prop company in Slamannan.
A storage unit on Lochside Road, Limerigg, between 11pm on Saturday 31st August and midday on Sunday 1 September.
The items taken include stab vests‎, police t-shirts, police trousers, police fleeces, police hats, imitation batons, handcuffs and Pava spray containers.
Many of these garments are embroidered with 'Police'.
In addition, tools and vehicle diagnostic equipment was also stolen.
Inquiries are ongoing to identify those responsible and anyone with information is asked to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Campbell from Forth Valley CID said: "At present we do not have a value for the stolen goods. However, our concern is that the suspects may look to use these to imitate Police Officers, as the props look very realistic.
"If you have any doubt about the authenticity of someone claiming to be an officer, ask to see identification and if they cannot provide it, then report them via 101.
"As part of this inquiry we would urge anyone who saw any suspicious activity around Lochside Road over the weekend, or who can help us identify the culprits, to contact police immediately.
"Similarly, if anyone has information as to the whereabouts of the stolen props and clothing, please also get in touch."
Those with information can contact Forth Valley CID via 101 and quote incident ‎2094 of the 1st September. Alternatively, an anonymous report can be made to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
