Treasure trove sits unclaimed

There is a treasure trove of jewellery and money sitting in the Balclutha police lost and found which police are sure someone must be missing.

Community Constable Tom Taylor said some of the items had been in the lost and found for years, and included a polished glass pendant, a silver bangle, a gold band, a lady's ring with an inset stone, and a man's signet ring.

Const Taylor said some of the items handed in recently must hold sentimental value for the people who had lost them.

A silver bracelet found in a hotel during the Christmas period was clearly a birthday present from the girl's father, while Const Taylor said a silver tin handed to police in September last year was an antique, and probably belonged to somebody's grandmother.

Policewould also like to hear from anyone who had lost money recently.

Const Taylor said some notes of large denomination were found on Clyde St and handed to police.
