Detective Sergeant Natalie Moore said: “It was reported that at some point between 3:30 & 6:30pm whilst the occupant was out, the property was ransacked before items including watches were removed from it.

“This has obviously been very distressing for the victim and I want to encourage everyone to report suspicious activity to us, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The report of a suspicious vehicle or people acting strangely in your neighbourhood can help us to prevent and detect crime.
