He said: "With the amount of CCTV in this day and age there's a high likelihood they will be caught on numerous devices.

"The men were in dark clothing and either wearing masks or balaclavas."

Inspector Harrison appealed for information, saying: "We want to appeal to members of the public who witnessed this or have further information.

"They should get in contact with West Yorkshire Police.

"Members of the public should be aware that if they are offered any goods from Hugo Boss at cut down prices that this may be related."
