Police investigating an aggravated burglary in Cirencester have released CCTV footage in a bid to locate stolen jewellery which has sentimental value.

The footage shows three men gain entry to a property on Purley Avenue in the town between 7.30pm and 8pm on Wednesday 19 November.

One of them (pictured below) was wearing a white face covering, dark jacket with a white hood hanging out of the back of it, light coloured baggy trousers, and white and black shoes, which possibly were trainers.

The jewellery was mainly of sentimental value and included a gold ring with a purple amethyst heart, a gold ring which was made up of little gold flowers all around it, and a pair of silver stud earrings with brown tiger eye gemstones.

Scenes of crime officers forensically examined the property after the burglary was reported and house to house and CCTV enquiries have taken place.

Investigating officers would like to hear from anyone who recognises the men pictured or has any information about the burglary.
