Jewellery and cash stolen during Telford burglary
Thieves have broken into a Telford home and made off with thousands of pounds worth of jewellery.
The offenders forced their way into the property in Chockleys Drive in Leegomery some time between 5pm and 9.50pm yesterday.
An untidy search was made of a number of rooms.
A variety of items were stolen including a mobile phone, £500 cash and £4,000 worth of jewellery. Two spare car keys were also stolen.
Police are investigating the matter and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
A Telford Police spokeswoman said: "A variety of items of jewellery were stolen including a gold ring, five pairs of gold earrings and a gold necklace and bracelet. The items are all yellow gold and are of sentimental value. It is likely that thieves will try and sell the jewellery on so we would urge members of the public and jewellery traders to be vigilant and to report any suspicious offers of jewellery for sale to police.
"If you have any information about the burglary or the stolen items then we would like to hear from you."
Telford Police can be contacted by calling the non-emergency number 101 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line 0800 555111.
