POLICE are trying to trace the owners of a number of items of jewellery which were stolen in South Gloucestershire.

The watch and expensive pens were recovered on December 7 but so far officers have been unable to identify the rightful owner.

Others items include a number of costume jewellery rings and a pair of cufflinks in a metal box with Ciro Citterio engraved on the lid.

Anyone who recognises the items is asked to contact the South Gloucestershire Priority Crime Team on 101 quoting the reference 12212/13.

Police recommend registering valuable items on the free national property database, www.immobilise.com to help officers track down the rightful owners of items they believe to be stolen.
