Police detectives are asking the public if they recognise five watches recently seized in the North Dorset area.

Police are appealing to the 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.”

Anyone with information should call police on 101 quoting incident number 26:55. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
