DS Jon Shield said: “The original images were of very poor quality. We know that these ones are still limited in terms of not being able to see the face of the suspect, but you can make out a lot more detail on the mask and the rucksack worn.
“We want people to study them closely and come forward if they thing they know anything about the offender, or the mask and where it might have been sold at the time.”
