At around 6.45pm on Wednesday 15 February, it is reported that five suspects forced entry to a property on Park Drive, causing damage. It is understood that the group took items of jewellery and a quantity of cash.
Two neighbours are believed to have heard the break-in and went to the property, where they were assaulted by the suspects. They were punched and had items thrown at their faces, causing head and facial injuries. One of the victims, a 64-year-old woman, needed hospital treatment.
The suspects are believed to have arrived and left the scene in a white SUV-type vehicle and officers are keen to hear from anyone living locally who may have seen this vehicle, or hold CCTV or video doorbell footage.
Several items of distinctive jewellery were taken, including a yellow gold ring with a blue sapphire set in the band surrounded by small diamonds, a square-fronted signet ring with a small pattern in the bottom corner and a small stone in the centre, a yellow and white gold twisted neck chain, a yellow gold ring with a flat, gold flower on the front, a yellow gold band which twists and has two stones in the front, and a yellow gold half sovereign on a twisted golden chain.
Officers also want to hear from anyone who may have been offered these items for sale or seen these items being sold.
