The watch was seized on 28 November 2020 when officers who were on patrol carried out a search on a man on Ashley Road who was suspected to be in possession of drugs. No drugs were located but the Tag Heuer watch was seized.

Police constable Christopher Lee, of Poole police, said, “I am really keen to hear from anyone who believes they have had a Tag Heuer watch stolen or go missing recently.

“If you suspect the watch is yours, please get in touch with the serial number and if it matches the one we have then we will be in touch.”
