Appeal for witnesses after burglary in Exeter

Detectives are investigating a reported burglary at a property in Exeter in March and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

A large amount of jewellery was reported to have been stolen from a property in the Glasshouse Lane area of Topsham Road, between 5pm and 6pm on Thursday 19 March.

Detective Inspector Ben Cartwright said: “We have released images of these items in the hope that they may be recognised if a suspect attempts to sell them locally, or if they are found discarded in the area, as some of them are quite distinctive and would attract attention if sold collectively.

“We appreciate the quality of some of the images is not high as they have had to be cropped but at this early stage, they are the best resolution images available.

“I am hopeful that if they are presented at any local jewellers or pawn shop as a collection, the distinctiveness of some of the items, presented together, would be recognised and the police called.”

Officers remain in the area as enquiries are ongoing.
