"We would like to hear from anyone who recognises any of the items or who saw someone dumping them in Finn Farm Road.

"I’m sure this jewellery is of great sentimental value to someone. It would be good to reunite it all with its rightful owner."

Police launched Operation Castle, a county-wide campaign against burglary at the end of October.

The campaign aims to advise on how to avoid becoming a victim of burglary, while also attempting to bring offenders to justice.

Det Con Webster added: "We always advise people to register their valuables items. This can be done for free on www.immobilise.com. Logging details helps us return the items to you if we find or seize them."
