Police are publishing photographs of property recovered by detectives to help trace victims of theft on the Isle of Wight.
Officers from the island’s Priority Crime Unit (PCU) are leading an investigation into a series of burglaries and thefts throughout last year.
Police located significant amounts of suspected stolen property at an address on land near Baring Road in Cowes during November 2010.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Andy Cooper of the Isle of Wight Priority Crime Unit (PCU) said: “Initial enquiries enabled us to reunite some of this property with its rightful owners. We’ve also arrested a number of suspects.
“Forensic analysis of potential evidence is ongoing and we remain keen to find the remaining property owners, who may have additional information that can assist us in pursuing outstanding lines of enquiry.”
The remaining unclaimed items include mini-motos, quad bikes, pressure washers, lifejackets and wetsuits. Pictures of these items can be seen online at http://www.hampshire.police.uk/Internet/news/releases/Appeal+to+trace+theft+victims+on+the+Isle+of+Wight.htm
