Detectives are appealing for information after burglars targeted a Peterborough home before fleeing with sentimental jewellery worth more than £3,000.
The house in Harlton Close, Stanground, was burgled between 1.30pm on Saturday (25 March) and 9am on Monday (27 March).
The house was ransacked and jewellery worth about £3,500 was stolen, along with £500 and €350 in cash.
DC George Corney said: “This burglary has left the victim, an elderly woman in her 70s, very shaken and upset.
“Many of the items stolen from her home were of sentimental value. Alongside the jewellery - which was stolen while still inside a grey cast-iron safe - the victim’s passport, family birth certificates and other personal items were also taken.
“We are appealing for witnesses and would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area at the times stated to get in touch with us.”
Anyone who has any information is urged to contact police via our web chat service quoting crime reference 35/22823/23, or call us on 101 if you do not have internet access. Always dial 999 in an emergency.
