Jewellery burglary at Tadley house

Extensive jewellery collection taken by burglars in daylight 'smash and grab' raid

A JEWELLERY collection of sentimental value has been taken in a 'smash and grab' raid on a Tadley house.

Sometime between 8.35am and 5.50pm on Monday, June 6, burglars broke into a house in Ramsdell Close, by smashing a rear window and after breaking a fence panel to gain access to the back garden.

A jewellery collection – including rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces - which the victim had amassed over many years and was of huge sentimental value, was stolen.

Pc Dave Cook of Hampshire police said: “This burglary happened during the daytime so I am appealing for anyone who saw anything suspicious or heard the window being smashed to contact me.”
