R-C-M-P in Prince George are trying to return several items to their rightful owners after finding them inside a stolen vehicle.

Police say they found a vehicle last Friday that had been reported as stolen the day before.

Inside, officers found a Panasonic Toughbook, two laptops, a metal detector, three satellite phones, a Sony P-S Vita and a cellphone.

Police say the items do not belong to the registered owner of the stolen car, and officials are asking potential owners of these items to contact Prince George R-C-M-P with proof of purchase.
