Police are appealing for information on a burglary which saw £1,700 worth of jewellery, a watch, and a half sovereign stolen while the resident was weeding the front garden.
The items, which included a 22ct gold wedding ring with the inscription inside “mon et toi” (me and you), were stolen from Grantham Road in Great Gonerby at some point between 2pm and 5pm on 13th May. The full list of items stolen include:
- 22ct gold wedding ring with the inscription inside “mon et toi” (me and you)
- 9ct gold rotary ladies watch
- 18ct sapphire and diamond engagement ring
- Opal and pearl antique ring
- Four pairs of gold earrings
- One single gold earring
- Sterling silver oval locket with and engraved pattern and chain
- One pair silver earrings
- Half sovereign
It is believed that the thief came over the garden fence and gained access to the property via the back door. At the rear of the property are open fields with a footpath that runs parallel to the houses which leads down the hill to Pennine Way. This route is popular with dog walkers, and there may be someone with information who was out that day.
There may also have been a man in a high-vis jacket near the front of the property who might have information to share, and we would ask that he come forward to help with our enquiries. Any information, no matter how small you might feel it is, could help us bring the offender to justice and potentially reunite the victim with their much-loved property.
