Investigating officer PC Simon Crew of the Isle of Wight’s Targeted Patrol Teams (TPT) said: “Initial enquiries in the community have not established an owner or a report for the property we believe to be stolen. We are releasing a photograph of the item recovered in the hope that its rightful owner will recognise it and contact police. I’m also keen to hear from anyone with information about the possible theft of handheld computers and games in Sandown during the past month.”
