South Wales Police is appealing for anyone who thinks the property pictured belongs to them to get in touch. However, proof of purchase may be necessary to make a successful claim.

Local Policing Sergeant Stuart Williams said: "Thanks to local people, we've been able to execute this search which has been very positive.

"We now have the task of identifying what is and isn’t stolen, but we need the public’s help to do that and urge them to get in touch.”

Anybody calling South Wales Police about property should call 101 quoting reference 464323.
