Hertfordshire's police have released pictures of five men they want to trace after loads of champagne and whiskey was stolen from a Co-op in Harpenden.

A man went into the Southdown Co-op on Southdown Road at around 1.45pm on Wednesday 28 December 2011 and left the store with a number of bottles of spirits he hadn't paid for.

Over the next three hours, four other men entered the same store and also left with a large quantity of champagne and whiskey, which they made no attempt to pay for.
