Police investigating 60 burglaries at golf clubs across England by two men who pretend to be players have appealed for fresh information.
The pair have stolen property worth £750,000 in 60 burglaries, including 13 in Lancashire and others in Devon, Somerset, Nottingham and Northumbria.
Police said a Crimewatch appeal in January prompted seven calls and more crimes being linked to the two men.
New CCTV footage of the pair at a club in south Devon has been released.
The images show the two men removing clubs from lockers at the club in Dainton Park, near Newton Abbot. The CCTV images were taken during two thefts on 29 July 2008 and 08 June 2009.
The men targeted Taunton Vale Golf Club in Somerset and Oakmere Park Golf Club in Nottingham in March 2009.

Clubs across Lancashire were targeted between April and September 2009.
Five golf clubs at Hurlston Hall, Ormskirk, Dean Wood in Upholland, Chorley and Ashton and Lea golf club, at Preston, were targeted in one day.
Det Sgt Dave Atherton, of Lancashire police, said: “I am hoping that with these new images, someone will be able to identify these men. They have targeted victims up and down the country and need to be caught.
“The offenders have typically gained access to the clubs during late afternoon into the early evening.
“They have forced lockers and selectively stolen the more expensive clubs so they clearly know what they are doing. It is quite possible that they play golf themselves as they seem to be acutely aware of the protocols and seem confident in the club houses.”
One of men is about 5ft 11in (1.8m) tall, well built and in his late 30s or early 40s. He has a shaved head or short light brown or blond hair.
He is usually wearing a golf cap and has small ears, which are similar to “cauliflower ears”, common among rugby players or wrestlers, police said.
His accomplice is slightly younger with longer darker hair.
