JEWELLERY and ornaments were swiped in a raid on a family home.

A police appeal for witnesses and information has been launched after the burglary, in Primrose Close, Hatfield, on October 10. Police say the crooks gained entry through an unlocked rear door between 4.10pm and 5.45pm.

Once inside the burglars ransacked the property and stole two talking watches, one with a blue face and a black strap, a large purple crystal pig, a crystal in the shape of a mushroom, a crystal in the shape of a seal, a gold ladies ring with ‘I love you’ engrave, and a men’s gold ring with ‘dad’ engraved.

Anyone who has been offered the stolen goods for sale or have seen them since the raid should call police on 0845 33 00 222.
