Jewellery ‘of sentimental value’ stolen in Barkway burglary

Detectives are investigating a Barkway burglary in which several items of jewellery were stolen.

The rear window of a High Street house was forced open and items including a gold, emerald and diamond ring, a set of silver dessert forks, a gold Cross fountain pen, a pair of pearl and gold earrings and a Raymond Weil watch were taken.

The burglary took place between midday on Monday, January 5, and 10am on Wednesday, January 7.

Investigating officer Det Cons Kate Raine said: “A number of the items stolen in the burglary have significant sentimental value to the victim and we would like to reunite them with their owner as soon as possible.

“As they are quite distinctive, they would probably stand out in someone’s mind should they come into contact with them.

“I would ask anyone who is offered them for sale, or knows of their whereabouts, to contact me as soon as possible.

“I would also urge anyone who remembers seeing anything unusual or suspicious in Barkway High Street between the stated times to call me. Any information could prove useful.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police non-emergency number 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
