We are trying to locate the medals pictured so that they can be reunited with their owner.
They went missing on the evening of Remembrance Sunday (13th November). The owner had left Newport Social Club at 9.30pm and went to McDonald’s before walking towards the bus station. He then travelled towards the County Showground on Newport Road.
The owner noticed the next day that their medals were missing and reported this to police.
They may have been stolen
It’s possible the medals were lost anywhere in the Newport area between the bus station and the County Showground, and between the hours of 9.30pm and 1.30am. However, they may have been stolen.
What we are asking of the public is that if anyone has come across these medals, or perhaps been offered sale of these medals in suspicious circumstances, to please get in touch.
The missing medals
The five medals that are missing are two Queen Jubilee medals, a Gulf war campaign medal with service number 24794852, a Saudi Arabia medal and a Q8 medal.
The owner also reported a watch missing, described as a silver Citizen Eco Drive, with a black watch face. The watch strap closes at the wrist with a clasp.
