CCTV images have been issued as part of an investigation into bulk shoplifting offences in Tunbridge Wells.

The first incident occurred on May 15, 2025, at The Range on Vale Road. Two men are reported to have concealed a quantity of cleaning products in a rucksack before leaving the store without payment.

A second theft, believed to be linked, took place on June 5 at the Aldi store on Longfield Road. In this instance, items including razors, toothpaste, and even small saws were reportedly hidden in rucksacks and removed from the premises without being purchased.

Investigators are appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the individuals captured in the CCTV footage. It is reported almost £750 of items were stolen from the shelves of two stores by the same suspects.

Officers would now like to identify and speak to the two people shown in the images.
