Appeal after jewellery taken during Dawlish break-in
Officers are appealing for information after highly sentimental jewellery was stolen during a burglary at a Dawlish home.
A man entered a property in the High Street area around 11.15pm on Thursday 5 November.
He was disturbed while in the house and fled on foot down High Street.
A jewellery box containing several pieces of jewellery, including a gold chain, a gold diamond ring and a silver Swarovski watch was taken.
A distinctive brooch, similar to the item pictured, was also stolen. The items hold significant sentimental value to the owner and officers are keen to reunite them.
Investigating officers are appealing for information and are seeking a suspect described as a white man wearing a grey hooded jumper and blue jeans.
Residents and businesses in the High Street and surrounding area are urged to check any CCTV, doorbell or dashcam footage for sightings of the suspect between 10.30pm and 11.30pm on 5 November.
Officers are also asking for anyone who may have been offered the jewellery for sale, or anyone who may have seen any of the items, to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 50260298918.
