Police want to find the owners of four historic war medals, that were recovered during a search warrant in Palmerston North.

Police conducted a search warrant today, at an address in Kelvin Grove. During the search, the pictured medals were found and recovered, and are believed to be stolen.

The medals include a 1939-1945 star, an Atlantic star, a Burma star, and the 1939-1945 war medal.

Police believe these hold significant sentimental value and would like to return them to their rightful owner.



If the medals belong to you, or you know someone who is missing their medals, please get in touch, either online and click “update report”, or by calling 105, quoting file number 260215/1202.
