Salisbury Police have released an image of two people they would like to trace in relation to the offence of 'bilking'.

The alleged incident took place on 15 February during which a group of youths booked a taxi and then ran away without making payment for their journey.
The youths travelled from Wessex Raceway to Winchester Street, Salisbury.
Five youths were involved and are believed to be aged between 10 and 17.
