    Insp Bob Cracknell says the constabulary handles a large amount each year and it costs a significant amount of money to process. "The actual percentage of items reunited with owners is very low, somewhere in the region of 3 to 5%," he said.

    He says they will still continue to accept property that's believed to be related to a crime: "For example some jewellery that's found at the roadside which may have been discarded from a burglary."
