POLICE have released an image of two men they would like to speak to after £2,000 of building materials were stolen.

Officers were called to Shipley Bridge Lane, Copthorne, after two men were disturbed during a burglary.

The owner found the men in the property at around 6am on Friday, May 6.

They drove off in a white flatbed Inveco van with the registration GN07 KNJ and a sign on the rear, which officers say was spelt either “PHILAMAR” or “PHILMAR”.

A separate sign on the back of the van read “plant and machinery”.

Sussex Police say checks on the vehicle showed there is no registered owner.

​One of the suspects is white, slim with facial hair.

He was wearing a green hoody, a dark baseball cap, jogging bottoms, black socks and white trainers with blue detailing.

The other suspect is white, of large build and clean shaven. He was wearing a blue hoody, black jogging bottoms and white trainers.

A spokesman for the force said: “Anyone with any information which can help the investigation is urged to report online, or call 101, quoting serial 190 of 06/05.”
