The incidents happened in August and caused major disruption.

“Police investigating the matter have now released images of two suspects and are appealing for information.
“If you recognise the two people pictured please contact police via Live Chat at west-midlands.police.uk between 8am to midnight, call 101 anytime or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Please quote crime number 20CV/195265Z/18.”
