Police in Southport appeal for the owner of watch to come forward

Police in Southport are inviting a woman who lost a Jaeger watch worth £5,000 to come in to the town’s police station to pick it up.

On Saturday, 3 June, a woman called in to Southport Police Station to ask whether the watch had been handed in. She had a picture of the watch and other details. Officers checked the safe but at that stage, they had no record of it. The owner did not leave her contact details.

A member of the public found the watch on Lord Street in the town and brought it in to the police station.

Sergeant Andy Dentith from Southport Police said: “We’re satisfied that the lady who came in to the police station on 3 June is the owner of the watch because she had pictures of it and gave us a full description.

“So, if the owner wants to come and see us, we’d be happy to reunite the lady with her watch.”
