Detectives investigating burglaries in Towcester have issued fresh CCTV images of two people they want to identify.
Police believe a woman who knocked on the door of a house in Bickerstaffes Road last month claiming to be looking for a lost cat could be the same one who used the same trick at a property in nearby Solly Way.
