Macedonian police said on Thursday that they have found a luxury jeep they suspect was stolen from David Beckham in Madrid, news from Skopje reported.

"We suspect it's Beckham's car," a Macedonian police source said, adding that they would put it up for auction if the super football star does not claim it.

Macedonian local media reported that the luxury BMW X5 was stolen in the Spanish capital where Beckham plays for Real Madrid.

The car was among five vehicles Macedonian police seized on the　border between Macedonia and Albania a year ago in a raid on human-smuggling gang, it was reported.
