A REWARD of £50 has now been offered to the finder of a much-loved family tortoise called Sue.

Sue, of The Square in Liphook, went walkabout after the garden gate was left open on June 20.

Owner Karin Lauritzen said: “She belongs to my grandchildren and is greatly missed and very friendly. We check the local area daily – we keep looking and hoping.”

Tortoises can cover about four miles a day – the UK’s fastest tortoise Bertie recorded an incredible sprint of around 5.5 metres in almost 20 seconds – but then hibernated for a month!

Karin added: “ We have had tremendous support in our search, but we just want her home, so we are offering a £50 reward to anyone who finds her.” Contact Karin on 07764 703 271.
