POLICE have launched an appeal to find the owner of a saxophone officers believe was stolen from a car.
The alto saxophone was discovered in a black carrying case, which has a purple coloured material lining. There is a separate mouthpiece and engraving on the bell of the saxophone.
The musical instrument was recovered during routine police investigations into car break-ins.
A police spokesman said: "The saxophone was taken from a car which we believe was parked in Downend during the early hours of November 14 but we have been unsuccessful in tracking down the owner."
Four men were arrested on suspicion of taking items from a motor vehicle.
A 19-year-old man was released after being given a police caution and three teenage boys – two aged 16 and one 17 – were released on police bail, pending further enquiries.
If you are the owner of the saxophone or believe you know the owner of the instrument, contact police on 101, quoting ref: 5215040586
