Manchester city centre is being plagued by a spate of deception thefts. Using various ploys shoppers have had their bank cards and mobile phones stolen.
Now police have issued CCTV images of a number of people they want to speak to in connection with the spree which has happened over the last few weeks. It is believed those responsible are travelling to the city from elsewhere - including Lancashire and London.
