Police in Scarborough are attempting to reunite a surfboard with its owner

Police in Scarborough are looking for the owner of a surfboard found in a garden in the town.

Officers have taken to social media in a bid to locate the owner of the surfboard, which they believe may have been caught in gusts during the recent bad weather.

In a post on the North Yorkshire Police – Yorkshire Coast Facebook page, a police spokesperson wrote:

“Are you missing a surfboard in Scarborough?

“Last week, a surfboard managed to navigate itself in to a garden in the Fulford Road area of Scarborough.

“This is probably due to high winds, however we also want to rule out the possibility that it has been stolen/misplaced.

“If you are missing a surfboard, please get in touch with 101 or Scarborough Police Station, quoting reference number 12240234186.

“We will of course be asking for a description, hence why we haven't posted a picture.

“Please bring valid ID with you to claim the board.”
