They are urging anyone who recognises them or thinks they may know who the men are to get in touch.

Police Constable Jenny May said: “We believe that the men in the CCTV images may have vital information to help with our ongoing investigation into a distraction burglary at a garden centre in Alderley Edge and subsequent fraud offences in Handforth.
