US officer relieved at return of top camera equipment he left on Dart

A US Army officer is trying to track down three teenage good Samaritans who handed in a bag containing camera equipment worth thousands of euro after he left it on a Dart carriage in Dublin.

Alexander Jansen, a US Army engineer based in Germany, was taking a whirlwind trip across Paris, Barcelona, London, and Dublin with his two younger sisters a few weeks ago when he lost his bag containing all his camera equipment, as well as hundreds of euro in cash and all three passports.

Mr Jensen and his sisters had just got off a Dart at Clontarf Rd when he realised he’d left the bag on the train.
