The first break-in was overnight between 6.30pm on Tuesday, November 5, and 9.30am the following day.

Just 11 days later, a second occurred at around 10pm on Saturday, November 16, where jewellery including several rings and medals were taken.

Investigating officer PC Emily Savage said: “We have been making enquiries in the area and are appealing to motorists with dashcam and residents with private CCTV, who have not yet spoken to the police, to check for relevant footage.

“Our investigators are also asking anyone who has been offered the items shown in the photographs or any other jewellery and medals at a low price, to contact our appeal line.”

On Sunday, a 35-year-old man from the area was arrested in connection with the burglaries.
