Jewellery was stolen from a Saffron Walden home last week after thieves forced their way through the back patio doors of the property.

Police are investigating the burglary, which took place between midday and 1pm on Thursday, April 13, at a house in Radwinter Road.

After getting into the house, the thieves then forced their way through two internal locked doors before conducting a messy search.

A number of jewellery items (pictured) were stolen in the burglary and officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have been offered these items for sale or recognises them.

Anyone with information can contact Pc Joanne Lewis at Braintree CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111 or use the anonymous form online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
