Hi Vis Suspects Wanted For £50K Railway Cable Theft

Police are investigating the audacious daylight theft of £50,000 worth of cabling from a south-east London railway depot.

The three male thieves arrived in a van at New Cross Gate Depot, loaded up and drove away.

British Transport Police (BTP) have released these images of two of the suspects.

They are appealing to members of the public to assist in identifying them.

The thieves struck just before 7.00pm on Wednesday, July 30, specifically targeting expensive signalling cables.

BTP officers believe the men in the image may have information which could help their investigation.

Anyone who recognises them is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 274 of 30 July.
