Silverware stolen in Colyford burglary

Look out for items for sale

Valuable silverware has been stolen from a rural property in East Devon.

Burglars entered the Colyford house around 3 a.m. on Thursday 4 November and stole a number of silver items, some of which are antique.

They include an antique solid silver napkin ring in a navy blue hinged box, an antique silver mustard pot with a blue glass lining, and a more modern solid silver bonbon dish with a gilt lining.

The offenders also stole a Tiffany ballpoint pen with the initials ‘Y&R’ on the clip and housed in a Tiffany box, and a silver-coloured wire wine basket.

Police, who have only just released details, are appealing to members of the public to keep an eye out for the stolen items at local car boot sales, second-hand shops or antique fairs.

Anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the area at the time of the offence is also asked to contact police via 101@dc.police.uk or telephone 101, quoting crime reference CR/096421/21.

Information can also be passed anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers via 0800 55511 or www.crimestoppers-uk.org
