Detective Inspector Darren George of Swansea CID said: “We are appealing to anyone who saw these individuals in or around the Parc Tawe complex on Saturday night to come forward.
“We are linking the incident at Parc Tawe to a similar incident which happened a short distance away in Dyfatty.”

Two males described as being aged in their teens, dressed in dark clothing with hoods up were seen running away towards Dyfatty traffic lights.
They made off with a brown striped handbag which had a long strap and contained a black leather wallet containing cash and various cards.
The CCTV pictures are of two males seen running through the Parc Tawe complex on Saturday night.
