Seized property gallery swells with jewellery, coins and china

Avon and Somerset Police have launched a renewed bid to identify the owners of suspected stolen property.

They've put pictures of jewellery, coins, china and collectibles they believe to have been stolen onto a dedicated webpage.

The suspected burgled items are said to have been taken from homes and outbuildings in Somerset, and going into the Blackdown Hills in Devon.

Officers said: "We’ve added more items, including a picture, jewellery, coins, china and collectables, to our online gallery of suspected stolen property.

"Officers seized hundreds of items which they believe to have been stolen in burglaries of homes and outbuildings across Somerset and the Blackdown Hills into Devon.

"We’ll continue to update the gallery in the coming weeks in a bid to identify the rightful owners of a wide range of property including tools and garden equipment, books and decorative items.

"You can view the gallery online and claim items by completing a form on our website. You’ll need to be able to prove ownership and to have your crime reference number, if you have one, to hand."

You can check out the gallery on the Avon and Somerset Police website.
