POLICE will be auctioning unclaimed property

POLICE in Blackpool and the Fylde will be auctioning unclaimed property in a bid to raise money for The Prince's Trust.

Property that has been recovered by police or handed in by members of the public, including pedal cycles, cameras and golf clubs will be auctioned at an event on Saturday (12 December).

Chief Insp Karen Simister said: "The Prince's Trust does some fantastic work assisting young people to progress into work, education or training, often turning their lives around.
"We are hoping that by selling the unclaimed property we will be able to raise as much money as possible for this important charity.

"I would encourage residents to come along to this event - you may grab a bargain - and at the same time help raise money for a great cause."

The charity auction will take place at 11am on Saturday 12 December at the Salvation Army on Raikes Parade in Blackpool. Members of the public are invited to attend to bid for items.
This fundraising activity comes as Lancashire Constabulary has signed up to the national 'Million Maker's' competition, which challenges teams of employees to raise money which will contribute to £1 million in total for The Prince's Trust.
