A police appeal has been launched to return suspected stolen items discovered in Milton Keynes to their rightful owners.

Thames Valley Police announced on Sunday (January 2), that a 41-year-old was arrested on suspicion of theft in connection to the case.

He has since been released, but remains under investigation, a Thames Valley Police spokesperson confirmed.
