Police seek owner of war medals

Greensborough police are keen to reunite a rightful owner with a number of war medals that were located following an arrest in December 2019.

Police arrested a man in Melbourne for property-related matters and discovered two stolen war medals in his possession.

The silver medal is a British First World War Medal with service number '53697' and name 'T.K Chesters' engraved on the bottom.

The gold medal is a 1953 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal issued by the states of Jersey.

Police have conducted extensive searches to reunite the sentimental property with its owner but have been unsuccessful so far.

Investigators have today released images of the medals in the hope someone may recognise them and come forward with relevant documentation.

Anyone with information or who may know the owner of the medals is urged to contact Greensborough Police Station on 8432 0200.
