Police are trying to return jewellery to owners

A 59-year-old man from Plymouth is due to appear before the city's crown court in March charged with three counts of burglary.

Derek Bates, of Whitleigh Avenue, is accused of stealing items of jewellery from houses across Plymouth and Cornwall in February.

Police found the items whilst searching a property and are looking to return them to the owners.

Detective Sergeant Paula Tucker said: “The value of each item is irrelevant, as we know it’s not the monetary amount which effects victims the most. 

“If you recognise the items pictured, please contact us quoting reference number 50250027811.”

Bates will appear before Plymouth Crown Court on 27 March.
