MOTORISTS whose cars have been broken into recently should take a look at this hoard of stolen property.

West Mercia Police is seeking to reunite owners with their valuables, some of which may have been taken during a series of thefts.

PC Darryn Van Rooyen is holding an open evening between 6pm and 7pm next Thursday at Castle Street police station for anyone who can identify the property as belonging to them.

He said: “Last month, we seized numerous items from a city centre property. An address was searched after the man living there was arrested on March 14 on Portland Street on suspicion of going equipped.

“He was also arrested on suspicion of the theft from a motor vehicle on Camp Hill Road the previous month.”

It is believed many of the items recovered at the address may have come from numerous car break-ins across the city.

PC Van Rooyen said: “We believe that these items may be from thefts which happened in mid-February – possibly in the vicinity of the Diglis area of the city – and we have managed to identify some, but not all of the owners of the items we found at the property.

"We now have more than 25 items, including sunglasses, sat navs, mobile phones, handheld computers, watches and mp3 players.

“Unfortunately, these items have not been reported to us as stolen or been property marked in any way and we are keen to reunite them with their owners.”

People who cannot go to Castle Street on April 19 but think that some of the unidentified property may be theirs can call PC Van Rooyen on 0300 3333000.

A man in his 30s has been released on police bail while inquiries continue.
