Thieves take sentimental jewellery from Telford home
Police are investigating after thieves broke into a Telford home and stole sentimental jewellery.
The break-in happened at an address in Dallamoor in Hollinswood some time between 11.15am and 11.45am yesterday.
Thieves forced their way into the property by forcing a door to the conservatory and then forcing a second internal door.
Once inside they carried out an untidy search of the house and stole jewellery from the main bedroom.
A gold wedding ring and an opal cluster ring were stolen.
Police are investigating the matter and are eager to speak to anyone with information about the incident.
A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "The jewellery is described as a 24 carat gold wedding ring and an opal cluster ring, which has a nine carat gold band and seven opal stones. There is one stone in the centre of the ring and three smaller stones either side.
"The items of jewellery are worth around £1,000 in total and both pieces are of great sentimental value. The victim is extremely upset and is desperate for them to be returned. If you have any information at all to their whereabouts or if you have been offered such items for sale then we would really like to hear from you.
"It is highly likely that thieves will try and sell the items so we would urge members of the public, pawnbrokers and jewellery traders to be aware and to report any suspicious activity to police."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Constable Steve Clark, of Telford Police on 0300 333 3000 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555111.
