Sussex Police, investigating reports of a theft in Emsworth, have released CCTV of two individuals they'd like to identify.

A purse containing bank cards was stolen from a car parked in Lawleys View.

It's believed to have happened between 1am and 4.15am on Wednesday (17 February).

The bank cards were used soon after at the Esso Petrol Station, on the A27 Chichester bypass (westbound), near the Stockridge Roundabout.

Police need help identifying two males captured in CCTV at the Esso station at that time. Footage also shows the men travelling on bicycles.

If you recognise the males or have any information relating to the thefts, please contact police by reporting online or by calling 101 quoting serial 968 of 17/02.
