Offenders smashed their way into two houses in the same Royston road on Tuesday afternoon and stole precious jewellery from one of the homes.
The first theft in Ackroyd Road occurred between 2pm and 9pm, in which the offenders forced open a side door and stole a gold necklace and six sets of cuff links.
In the second burglary, which happened between 4pm and 9pm, thieves used an implement to force open a back door and then stole cash from inside.
The offenders made off in an unknown direction.
