Detectives investigating damage to a Barclays bank in Bristol have released CCTV footage of four people they want to trace.

The front of the branch in Broadmead was smashed up and covered in red paint in the early hours of Monday 10th June, with a pro-Palestine protest group Palestine Action claiming responsibility.

The four are described as three slim men wearing all black and face coverings, plus a slim white woman who was also wearing all black and carrying a blue shopping bag.

Anyone with any information on what happened is asked to call 101 and quote the reference number 5224148983.

Palestine Action said they had taken the action because of the banks alleged investments in Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.
