Several pieces of jewellery and a quantity of money have taken during a burglary in a Derbyshire village. Derbyshire police are appealing for information about the incident, which took place in Ryknield Road, Kilburn near Belper.
It happened at some point between Wednesday, July 26 and Monday, August 4 August, and entry was gained into the house by breaking the lock of door.
Two of the pieces of jewellery are described as:
- Thistle brooch with a large amethyst
- Crown Derby rose brooch and earrings still in the case.
There were also several pieces of gold jewellery with set diamonds.
The police do not have pictures of the jewellery but are hoping that someone may recognise the descriptions of the distinctive brooches.
