Police are investigating after silver and gold were stolen from an antiques store in Royal Wootton Bassett.

The incident happened between 3.50pm and 4.10pm on Saturday 19 July at Old Bank Antiques on the High Street.

Two people entered the shop and distracted staff before stealing several silver items from a display cabinet.

They then attempted to purchase gold, but during the transaction distracted the staff again and retained some of the cash originally handed over.

The pair left the store with the stolen silver, gold, and a portion of the cash.

Police have released two images of people they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Anyone who recognises them or has information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 54250095795.
