Police are asking for help as they hunt two Bedford men wanted in connection with a series of burglaries in Bedford.

People are being asked not to approach Lee Hobbs, 37, of no fixed abode, and Carl Lucas, 36, from Bedford, and instead call police immediately.

Detective Constable Andy Boston from Bedfordshire Police’s dedicated burglary team, Operation Maze, said: “We have carried out a number of enquiries and are now appealing to the public to help us locate these men.

“We advise that you do not approach them, but instead contact us immediately if you see them.

“It is also important to be aware that anyone harbouring a wanted individual and deliberately obstructing our attempts to locate them may be committing a criminal offence.”

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or report online at beds.police.uk quoting references 40/AD/15756/23 and 40/AD/15820/23.
