Appeal for information after coin collection found
An appeal has gone out for information about the rightful owner of a rare coin collection.
Staffordshire Police have launched the appeal after the coin collection, which is worth around £150, was found in the boot of a car in Stafford.
The force came across it after searching a white BMW 1 Series near Parkside Avenue on Friday, November 18, following reports of suspicious activity.
Officers found a silver box in the boot containing a number of different 50p and £1 coins. Each coin is different and is believed to be a collectors’ item.
The force said it believed the collection was stolen.
PC Thomas Cordall, of the force’s Roads Policing Unit, said: “These coins were probably taken by someone who thought they’d hit the jackpot.
“We need your help to try and identify who they belong to. We are conducting local inquiries and are working hard to establish those responsible.
“If you have any information, please contact me directly by emailing thomas.cordall@staffordshire.police.uk quoting occurrence 21220153828”.
