They then carried out a search of the vehicle, before leaving the keys inside the van and making off.

An investigation was launched and police discovered the suspected stolen cards had been used at a garage on York Avenue, Jarrow, and at Asda in Boldon Colliery without the owner’s permission.

As part of their ongoing enquiries, detectives have now released the images of two men they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

They were known to have been in the supermarket on the night in question and could assist officers with the investigation.

The men, or anyone who recognises them, is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference 521 011218 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
