The owner of a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (automatic) with registration number KM 5321 F has appealed to the public for assistance after the vehicle went missing in Bakau.

The car was reportedly handed to a Nigerian mechanic at a garage in Bakau, opposite the offices of the former Daily Observer newspaper, but was later taken away and has not been returned.

The owner said the vehicle has now been missing for four months.

The matter has been reported to the police, but efforts to trace the car have so far been unsuccessful.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the vehicle is urged to contact 2285022 or 7346509. A reward is being offered for useful information.
