A DISTINCTIVE collection of postage stamps, golf clubs and a diving suit were included in a haul of goods recovered in police raids.

Now detectives are trying to return the goods to their rightful owners.

The stamp albums and first day covers were part of a wide range of suspected stolen equipment found during raids at properties in Farnworth.

Some of the stamps which are displayed in a red album and two folders are addressed to Mr A Crossley, 9a Ashley Lane, Manchester.

The set of Wilson and Spectre golf clubs were in a white, green and blue Regal bag and the Wemlor diving suit was black with white sleeves.

The haul also included Praktica BX20 and TTL cameras, Trust computer equipment, a Sanyo CD multi-changer, karaoke machine and a black and gold jewellery box.

Anyone who wants to claim any of the items should call the crime support unit on 0161-856 5576.
