Jewellery stolen during untidy search of house after door lock broken
Jewellery has been stolen from a home in a burglary which left a door lock broken and the house left in a mess.
Officers from West Mercia Police are investigating the burglary in Churchill Lane, Kidderminster, and are appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious to contact them.
The burglary happened between 7am and 6pm on Wednesday.
The offender or offenders broke in, forcing the lock of a patio door, and carried out an untidy search, stealing numerous items of jewellery including the items pictured in the appeal.
Investigating officer Detective Darren Barnes said: “At present, we believe the suspect(s) would have been in the Churchill Lane area on Wednesday between 7am and 6pm. We are hoping that someone may have information which could help us – have you seen anyone or any vehicles in the area recently acting suspiciously?
"It is not uncommon for offenders who commit this type of crime to visit the location of properties beforehand and then return some time later to carry out the theft.
"Please get in touch to report if you have seen any suspicious behaviour in the area.”
The force has asked anyone with any CCTV or doorbell footage and any information about the burglary or who may have been offered any of the stolen items or knows the whereabouts of them to contact Detective Constable Darren Barnes on 07900 608634 or email Darren.barnes@westmercia.police.uk
