Police are investigating a burglary at a home in Cowes which involved several items of jewellery being stolen.
Officers suspect that the offender walked into the house on Newport Road, Cowes via an open door sometime between 22:00 on Sunday 1st November and 12:00 on Monday 9th November.
The jewellery taken included a gold locket containing photographs with an inscription of ‘Esmond,’ a gold gate bracelet with square links and Chinese writing along with a pair of gold diamond cut earrings.
The locket is particularly unique and described by the owner as having priceless sentimental value. The inscription ‘Esmond’ is in reference to the owner’s late brother who was killed in a motorbike accident in 1972. The photographs contained within the locket are of the owner’s brother and her late mother, who wore the locket until she passed.
PC Chris Worsfold from the Isle of Wight Investigations Team said:
“This is a great loss to the owner due to the sentimental value of the jewellery.
“I am appealing to anyone who was in the Newport Road area of Cowes between these dates who saw anyone suspicious to get in contact with us. Not only that, I am looking to hear from anyone who may have been offered this jewellery recently”.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police on 101 quoting 44150393796.
