One of the suspects is described as having long, unkempt hair. He was wearing a white baggy long-sleeve T-shirt, green/khaki baggy trousers and white shoes.

A second suspect is described as having short hair. He was wearing a dark flowery T-shirt, dark skinny trousers and light-coloured trainers. He may also have worn or carried a yellow hooded top or jacket.
