IT'S not the easiest thing to lose but Winchester police are appealing for the owners of this seven-feet-high wooden cross to come forward.

Two drunken young men were found walking away from the city along Alresford Road with it after pub closing time on Monday night.

After seizing the cross, made of logs and wire, police are keen to trace the owners.

Anyone with information should ring the crime desk at Winchester police station on 0845 045 4545, or the free Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
