POLICE investigating an alleged theft from a Hampshire nightclub where two Saints players were caught on CCTV have appealed for help to track down three other men.
Bradley Wright-Phillips and Nathan Dyer were filmed at Bar Bluu in Southsea.
Some men were seen rifling through the belongings of staff, who later discovered £145 in cash, three mobile phones and other items were missing.
Officers investigating the crime have now released three images of men they wish to speak to.
It is believed the three came from London to visit the club to see hip-hop star Kano performing on February 27.
They were caught on CCTV in the early hours of February 28 as they left the club by the rear.
PC Paul Foley, who has been investigating the incident, said, "We know that these three men were in the staff room during the incident, and we are very keen to try and identify them and speak to them about what happened that night. I would urge anyone who has seen these men, or who can identify them, to contact police as soon as possible."
Winger Nathan Dyer, 20, and striker Bradley Wright-Phillips, 23, have been arrested and released on police bail in relation to this incident.

The pair, who earn £5,000 and £8,000 per week repectively, were both fined a fortnight's salary by Southampton Football Club following the incident.
They were also dropped from the first team squad for one game.
At the time however, Dyer was injured and thus unable to play anyway.
Both have since returned to first team duty, although Nathan Dyer's contract is due to expire this summer, with rumour rife he may move to Portsmouth.
When the pair were questioned by police, a spokesman for the football club said: "It's a matter of police investigation and we cannot comment."
Anyone with any information in relation to this incident should contact PC Paul Foley at Fratton police station on 0845 045 45 45 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
