Diamond jewellery and handbags were amongst the items stolen from a property in Coast Road over the Christmas period.

The property was broken into between Christmas Eve (December 24) and Boxing Day (December 26).

A black 64 plate Land Rover Evoque was also taken during the incident.

Some of the items stolen include an 18ct Italian white gold Belgium cut diamond ring, 18ct gold stud earrings with round diamonds, a 1940s diamond set cocktail wristwatch, and a diamond box lined bracelet with 46 stones.

Investigating officer, DC Kevin Maskell, said: 'We believe the offender/s took the Land Rover after the burglary and travelled to the Norwich area.

'I would like to ask members of the public if they remember seeing the vehicle acting suspiciously near to Edwards Road, Repton Avenue, Hillmead, Pound Lane or Cooper Lane.

'If you travelled near these locations between the crime times and have dashcam footage I would ask you to review it in case you captured the stolen vehicle.'

The vehicle was recovered in the early hours of New Year's Day in Norwich and is currently being forensically examined.
