POLICE seize suspected stolen goods and appeal for help in tracing the owners.

Detectives are asking the public if they recognise the photographed watches recently seized by police in the North Dorset area.

Police are appealing to owners of the items, or anyone who knows where they came from, to come forward.

Detective Constable Steve Dodge, of Weymouth CID, said: “I am keen to circulate these images as I suspect they may be stolen property and, if they are, I’d like to return them to their owners and get information that may help with our enquiries.”

“The items were seized from Blandford and the surrounding areas so I’m urging people in this location to check whether they recognise the watches.”

Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101 quoting incident number 26:55.
