Police are asking the public to come forward to help identify a haul of jewellery recovered by officers in Exeter.
Officers believe the numerous items of jewellery – including distinctive rings and watches – may have been stolen during burglaries or thefts in Devon and Cornwall or further afield.
The appeal follows the arrest of a 57-year-old Exeter man in July in connection with handling stolen goods.
Exeter police are urging anyone who recognises the items to come forward and contact them.
PC Suzanne Vranch, of Exeter CID, said: “We are appealing for...
Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Junior Poluleuligaga has today agreed to join Championship outfit Cornish Pirates on a short-term loan deal.
With the Pirates having been dealt an untimely blow with captain Gavin Cattle sustaining an injury in last Friday's 18-18 draw at Doncaster Knights, the Cornish club have moved swiftly to acquire the services of the talented 31-year-old Samoan international.
The Auckland-born number nine, who is now into his third season at Sandy Park, will head to the Duchy with at least a few familiar faces in tow as the Pirates have already dual-...
A goal in each half from Jamie Cureton helped City get back to winning ways at Underhill last night.
The 37-year-old composed himself before pulling the trigger on 37 minutes to fire the Grecians into the lead before nodding home Tommy Doherty’s perfect cross to finish off a great move. City, with the patched-up midfield duo Doherty and Matt Oakley excelling, controlled large parts of the second half but had to fight for the victory after Jake Hyde nodded home but held on for a very satisfying three points. City boss Paul Tisdale pulled a selection surprise by handing a first City...

Exeter’s leading independent financial services company, Cooper Associates, has been busy raising money for charity Dreams Come True by attempting to complete the National Three Peaks Challenge. Lisa Rawle, Group Office Manager at Cooper Associates, recently attempted the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Dreams Come True, a charity working to fulfil the wishes of children with serious or terminal illnesses. The National Three Peaks Challenge involves a gruelling climb of Britain’s three highest mountains – England’s Scafell Pike, Wales’ Mount Snowdon and Scotland’s Ben Nevis. The challenge...
Sapphire Living Space saw the culmination of two years hard work pay off with the grand launch of their state-of-the-art kitchen and bathroom showroom, based opposite Darts' Farm in Topsham. Mark Newbery and Ross Pollard have brought their combined knowledge of kitchen design and property development to Sapphire Living Space.
Almost as soon as we had opened we were invited to give a kitchen and bathroom design masterclass! It was a real honour for us to be invited to speak at Naomi Cleaver’s interior design day at Coombe House Hotel, near Honiton and we enjoyed it so much we are...
EXETER City FC are hoping a secret ingredient will boost their season – beetroot!
The club has struck a deal with city-based drinks manufacturer Cobell to supply players with the first 100 per cent natural sports performance drink called PWR+.
And one of the key components of the brand new beverage is beetroot juice.
PWR+ has already been trialled by the Exeter Chiefs rugby team and now the Grecians are the first football club in the UK to take advantage of its unique benefits.
The drink was inspired by research at Exeter University into the natural benefits...
One of the most thrilling and influential theatre companies to emerge out of the South West made a welcome return to its roots at the end of September, when internationally acclaimed Footsbarn Travelling Theatre performed the Indian Tempest at Exeter's Northcott Theatre to rave reviews.
Having studied The Tempest as part of my Drama degree at University, I was intrigued to see how this multi-cultural, rich and evocative reworking would play out, and I was not to be disappointed. The overwhelming response from the opening night audience was a feeling that we were in the...
It was in front of the biggest home gate of the season of 5,454, that Exeter City handed their Westcountry visitors Bristol Rovers both goals on a plate in a poor 2-1 home defeat.
Back-to-back defeats for the first time this season see City slip to fifth in the table and if they play like that much more it won't be long before they slip further.
Far too often the ball was needlessly given away with sloppy passing or simply hoofed up the pitch for someone else to take responsibility when it was crying out to be played on the floor either out wide or around the giant Rovers...
Why would you give up a well paid job and take on a full-on Farm Shop in a recession? Well it has become a family affair - and an obsession to create something special on a local basis - for Mandy Pitts, Shaun Ryder and daughter Ellena, with a little help from a staff of 20 local people. Ryders Bakery took the leap to move its HQ from Dawlish to their farm in Kenn, a purpose-built bakery, trebling its size and opening the door for expansion with access to a quicker road network for better distribution. Mandy, after 30 years in the Recruitment industry, was keen to take on a new challenge...
