Jewellery stolen from elderly couple's home
5:00pm Wednesday 14th May 2008
OVER £5,000 worth of jewellery and electrical equipment was stolen from an elderly couple's home.
Police are appealing for witnesses after an elderly couple's home in Dursley was burgled.
The incident took place on Monday May 5, between 1.30pm and 2.40pm, at a property in Kingshill Road.
The couple returned to their house to discover an unknown offender had smashed a window at the back of the house and searched their property.
The offender stole a laptop and items of jewellery valued at over £5,000.
PC Terrie-Marie McVeigh, officer-in-charge of the incident, said: "Given their age and the personal nature of many of the items that were stolen, this has been particularly distressing for the victims.
"I would urge anyone who may have seen anything or has any information on the burglary to come forward."
Police are particularly keen to trace a man seen leaning over the boot of a burgundy saloon car parked on the victims' driveway at around the time of the incident. He was wearing dark trousers and a white tee shirt.
Anybody with any information is asked to contact police on 0845 090 1234, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting incident 267 of May 5.
