OFFICERS are appealing for information after a group of men were seen behaving suspiciously in a town earlier this month.

West Yorkshire Police has issued photos of a number of men they would like to identify.

The men were captured in images from about 8pm in the Mirfield area, last Friday (November 24).

A spokesperson for the force said: "Officers realise the males are masked but feel it is important to issue the pictures in case anyone has footage of them to help officers plot the male’s movements, or can in any way identify them."

The men are believed to have travelled in the vehicle that is also included in the released pictures.

Anyone who recognises any of the individuals in the photos, or who has footage of them from the night in question, should contact the Kirklees District Crime Team on 101, or using the contact options on the West Yorkshire Police website.

You should quote police log number: 13230653604.

Information can also be given anonymously to the independent Crimestoppers charity on: 0800 555 111.
