The second image was taken at the One Stop shop on Blackburn Road in Accrington on Saturday, November 23, where wine and chocolates were stolen.
The third image was taken at the Coop store on Harwood Road in Rishton on Monday, November 18 where two lamb joints were stolen.
Police have also released an image of a man they want to speak to following two shoplifting offences on Sunday, December 8 in Clayton-le-Moors.
