POLICE are appealing for the owners of two giant garden urns to come forward to claim them.

They were found in the Bishop Auckland area on November 9 and could have been stolen any time before that. Two people arrested on the same day have been questioned and released on police bail.

A third container, valued at about £800, has also been recovered and found to have been stolen from a garden in Barnard Castle.

If you recognise either ornament contact PC Andrew Crowe at Bishop Auckland police station, telephone (01388) 603566
