A vintage American sports car believed to have been abandoned by joy riders has been found, with police now searching for its owner.

The Chevrolet Impala Super Sport was found at the junction of Cheam Road and Belmont Rise on Tuesday, February 17 at 8.10am.

Sutton Guardian ran a story in our print edition two days after the sports car was found, but pictures of the vehicle have only just been released by police.

The white car, which has an Idaho USA number plate, is now in a police pound.

Its registration is 2CJM614.

Anyone with information should call Sutton police on 101.
