A DISTINCTIVE ring with a cannabis leaf could be the only clue to identify the body of a man found lying in a car park.

Police are urging the public to help them solve the mystery surrounding the identity of the man.

He was found by a passer-by at the Dovecot car park, in Dovecot Road, near Sainsbury's, in High Wycombe, at 5.15am on Tuesday.

WDC Jane McIntosh, investigating the case, said the silver ring bearing the symbol of the cannabis leaf is the only 'distinctive clue'.

Police are appealing to anyone who knows the man, described as black with light coloured skin, in his late teens or early twenties, medium to large build with short hair.

He was wearing a black sweatshirt, white jeans, white trainers and white socks and also had a plain silver ring on his hand.

Three cars entered the car park at approximately 4.20am and police are keen to hear from the drivers on 01494 465888.
