Jewellery stolen in Devon burglary

Police in Newton Abbot are appealing for information following a burglary in Kingskerswell where a sentimental watch was stolen.

The burglary occurred sometime between Thursday 2nd April and Saturday 4th April at a property in Park Road, Kingskerswell.

Amongst the items stolen was a rose gold pocket watch, (similar pictured) which had a ‘T’ bar chain attached to it.
