THIEVES stole gold jewellery after breaking into a house in St Georges Road, Salisbury.

It is believed two security lights were deliberately broken before the offenders gained entry by removing the lock from the kitchen door at the back of the property.

Police said “tidy” searches were made of drawers and cupboards throughout the house and a number of gold items were taken.

The house was targeted between October 8 and October 9 while the owners were away.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Salisbury Priority Crime Team on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
