POLICE are looking to reunite a red scooter found in Witham with its rightful owner and ensure its rider is also safe and well.

The red machine was found abandoned by the side of the northbound carriageway of the A12 between Junctions 21 and 22 at 5:30am on Saturday, May 4.

Road policing officers found it to have been involved in some form of collision as it was damaged, but their enquiries did not reveal any current owner and there was no key with it. It appears to have not been stolen either.

Anyone with information on its owner should contact officers at Stanway Road Policing Unit on 101.
