Police have turned to the public to help solve the mystery of a garden ornament that turned up after it was stolen.

Thames Valley Police officers in Oxford are trying to locate the owners of a found stone ornament.

The sculpture is of a man with an ecclesiastical or possibly Egyptian look.

The force had put out an appeal on its social media channels on Monday morning (December 2).

Posting online, they asked for anyone who recognises 'the handsome gentleman' to please come forward.

Anyone who wants to claim the ornament should please drop the police an email on OxfordCentralNHPT2@thamesvalley.police.uk
