Watches and childrens moneybox stolen in White Street raid

It happened overnight last last Tuesday evening when burglars broke into a house on White Street, causing extensive damage to the property's door.

The thieves made off with a silver tube, with teddy bear stoppers, containing a christening certificate, a child's Disney Princess money box, a Frozen fancy dress costume and a pink Vtech Intro tablet.

Also taken was jewellery including Plymouth Argyll, Armani, Fossil and Tissot wristwatches, silver dice cufflinks, Swarovski, pearl and silver necklaces and earrings and a brooch shaped like a horse's head.

The thieves also stole electronic equipment including a Toshiba flat screen television and laptop computer, a Samsung laptop computer, MP3 players and a TomTom satellite navigation system.
