CREWE police are trying to reunite stolen goods with their owners this week after a series of successful raids.

A host of search warrants were carried out at the end of January and at the start of this month to recover a substantial amount of jewellery.

Now a display has been organised at the force training centre to help discover if the goods are actually stolen and from where.

Detective chief inspector Peter Duffy said: "Often we recover property but are unable to successfully prosecute offenders or return the items to their rightful owners as we are unable to identify them.

"In many cases items have great sentimental value and are irreplaceable. This makes it even more important that we canidentify the owners and return their treasured items to them."

Anyone who may have property involved can visit the centre, at the junction between Nantwich Road and Salisbury Avenue, between 11am and 3.30pm on Sunday.
