A routine police patrol turned up an unusual discovery as officers found a ticket machine abandoned in a residential road.

Thames Valley Police are urging anyone with information about the odd find to come forward and help their investigation.

A tweet from the @TVP_Wycombe account revealed one town-based policeman, PCSO Sheppard, found the machine during his patrol in Pettifer Way, Castlefield.

Wycombe officers say the machine has been released to Wycombe District Council, which is the rightful owner.

If you have info, call police on 101, quoting the URN 602 07/09/2016.
