Officers said that two of the toy brick packs were swiped from commercial premises in Margate Road, Broadstairs, at about 5.35pm on September 2.

They did not say what the sets contained but some of the larger toys can sell for hundreds of pounds.

Detectives released images of three women they say they want to speak to in connection with the theft.

They are all in denim hot pants, one wearing a varsity jacket, another with a jacket and shirt and a third, pictured separately, wearing a cream top. All appear to have dark hair tied up.
