A man who accidentally left his cellphone at a checkout counter at Fruit & Veg is appealing to the person who picked it up to return it.

CCTV footage shows the owner placing the phone on the counter on July 12, while paying for his groceries.

In a rush to gather his purchases, he appears to leave the phone behind.

Moments later, two men step up to the cash register to pay for their shopping.

The footage shows the younger of the two noticing the phone, picking it up and showing it to the older man accompanying him.

After the older man checks his own cellphone, the younger man is seen placing the forgotten phone in their shopping trolley.

A case was opened at Witbank SAPS and the Warrant Officer Malusi Khaya Nkabinde from Witbank Detective Service asked that anyone with information come forward and contact him: 079 736 654
