Police are trying to trace the rightful owner of a mobile phone recovered from a property in Portsmouth last year.
The phone was seized by officers executing a search warrant on a property in the Fratton area in December.
Police have exhausted all means of tracing the rightful owner and are now appealing to anyone who may recognise the people in these images, taken on the phone’s camera, to get in touch.
Officers need to identify the owner to establish if the mobile phone was stolen or lost.
DC Toby Wilson of Fratton CID said: "It is possible that the owner of the phone was either studying in Portsmouth or visiting Portsmouth to see friends, lost their phone and have just given up on finding it.
“Every other avenue has been explored in trying to locate the true owner, so we’re releasing these two photos in the hope that the male or the female pictured will get in touch.”
