Police are linking two commercial burglaries in North Dorset, that happened on the same day.

The Diamond Scissor Barber Shop in High Street and The Filling Station in Station Road in Gillingham were both broken into during the early hours of Sunday 23rd October.

A till and drinks were stolen.

Dorset Police have now released CCTV images of the suspects and are asking for our help to identify those pictured.

Officers say one of the suspects had a distinctive '3' on the sleeve of their top - do you recognise it?

PC Dominic Upshall, of Dorset Police, said:

“Following initial enquiries, I am now in a position to release CCTV images of the suspects.

“I am aware that the images are not of great quality, but I am hoping that they jog somebody’s memory of that night.

“Also, there is a distinct number 3 on the arm of the top one of the men is wearing, which might help identify who this person is.

“In addition, I am hoping that somebody might have witnessed suspicious activity during the relevant times at either location and can assist my enquiries.

“If anyone was driving in the areas and has dashcam fitted, please check for anything that may help us find out who is responsible for these incidents.”
