CARELESS burglars abandoned stolen possessions near Lea after stealing the goods from a home in Marstow near Ross-on-Wye.

A Playstation, cash, jewellery, tools, a leather case and alcohol were all taken from the home on the main A4137 Hereford to Symonds Yat road between 1.50pm and 3.20pm on Tuesday, November 11.

Several items from the home were then later recovered on the A40 close to the Gloucestershire border although some belongings are still outstanding.

Hereford police believe passing motorists may have unknowingly picked up the goods and are appealing for their return. Anyone with information is asked to call PC Neil Finch on 08457 444888.
