Police want to reunite owners with stolen goods
by Joe
Walker
Flat-screen TVs, gold watches and
laptops are among a hoard of stolen items police want to reunite
with their owners before Christmas.
Thousands of pounds worth of goods
- stolen between May and September - were seized just before a
string of arrests across east Kent.
Detective Inspector Tristan
Kluibenschadl said: "In September officers from the Kent and Essex
Serious Crime Directorate conducted a series of warrants which led
to the arrest of 14 people on suspicion of burglary.
"This was the culmination of months of intelligence-led
police work in which this stolen property was recovered.
"We have seized thousands of pounds
worth of items and it would be satisfying to reunite the property
with the rightful owners. Items include laptops, mobile phones,
push bikes, power tools and jewellery.
"If someone thinks that we have
recovered an item belonging to them they will need to be able to
prove the item is theirs.
"This could be through providing a
serial number, a photograph or describing a feature of the item,
such as any dents, chips or markings that may be on the
property."
The items were all seized prior to
the raids and it is thought they would have been stolen from the
east of the county.
A viewing day will be organised for
anyone who thinks property recovered belongs to them.

If you think any of the items belong to you, call police on
01303 289410 and leave your name, contact number and details of the
property.
