A NUMBER of sentimental pieces of jewellery have been stolen after a property was burgled in Newent yesterday, June 1.

A quantity of jewellery was stolen including a silver orchid brooch, a necklace and cufflinks between 10.45am and 1.20pm at The Crofts.

The offenders forced entry via a side door to the property to gain entry.

The victim has been left very upset by this ordeal as the brooch was made by the woman’s late daughter.

Gloucestershire Police have issued images of the stolen jewellery in case any members of the public recognise it, should it be offered for sale.

Any witnesses or anyone with information should call 101 and quote incident number 260 of June 1.
