Gold rings stolen from Honiton home

Police are investigating a burglary where distinctive gold rings were taken from a Honiton home.

Offenders forced a window to get inside the property in Oaklea while the owners were away between 13 and 21 October.

They stole four gold rings which are old and of great sentimental value.

Taken were two ladies gold signet rings, one described as heart-shaped with grooves across and the other as oval-shaped with the letters JCK engraved on it.

Also taken was a ladies white gold or platinum ring with a band of three diamonds and a ladies gold engagement ring which has a wide band and a round diamond surrounded by small sapphires.

The ring is distinctive due to a damaged claw and has become almost v-shaped due to wear.

Detectives are appealing to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area at the time of the offence or has information about the burglary.

They are particularly keen to speak to any second hand dealers or antique stores who may have been offered the rings for sale.

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Detective Constable Matt Burnell at Honiton CID by telephoning 101 or Crimestoppers 0800 555111, quoting crime reference CR/116570/14.
