Appeal to trace owners of suspected haul of stolen jewellery

We have released images of more than 200 items of jewellery we believe to have been stolen in a bid to reunite them with their rightful owners.

A large quantity of jewellery including rings, necklaces, watches, earrings, brooches and cufflinks were discovered as part of investigations into burglaries in Cambridgeshire earlier this month.

Detective Inspector Juliet Heald, from the Southern Acquisitive Crime Team, said: “We have recovered a significant amount of jewellery which we suspect has been stolen from homes across Cambridgeshire and beyond.

“We’re keen to reunite these items with their rightful owners. Many of the items will likely hold significant sentimental value to their owners.”

Anyone who believes any of the items belong to them, or knows who they might belong to, should contact us online and quote reference 35/NT/19639/22 Operation Belair. If you do not have access to a computer, call 101.
