Police have released CCTV images of men after two NHS workers had their bikes stolen.

The thefts of a consultant's bike and a nurse's bicycle happened between the evening of Wednesday, March 25, and morning of Thursday, March 26, at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre.

Police said they will hunt down those who have targeted key workers, with Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping calling the spate of thefts 'evil.'

The force wants to speak to the two men pictured, who they believe may have information which could help their enquiries.

Chief Superintendent Rob Griffin said: "We’ve all been appalled to hear about NHS staff being targeted at a time when they are doing so much for all of us.

"That’s why we’ve made it a priority to find those responsible and we are also working to provide replacement bikes to those affected.

"I‘m going to be putting a lot of resources into this – more than is normal, because there’s a bigger picture here.

"NHS workers are doing the most incredible job and to think that someone would think it’s ok to steal a bike – the very mode of transport they use to get to that job – is unbelievable.

"Because of this, we will do all we can to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

"Nottinghamshire Police will continue to support NHS staff who are working on the front line of this crisis, including by increasing uniform and plain clothes patrols around hospitals to show would-be criminals that we will not tolerate this type of crime.

"We have seen some talk on social media about further thefts. If you have been affected by this, please report it to us and be assured that we will thoroughly investigate any similar incidents."

If you recognise the men pictured or know anything which could help the investigation please call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 39 of 26 March.
