A gold ring and a pickaxe are reported to have been taken from a home by men claiming to be from the water-board.

Images of three men who may have information about the burglary in Ashford have been released by police.

The victim reported that two men knocked on her conservatory between 2pm and 2.30pm on Friday.

The pair claimed that they were from the water-board and that repair work was taking place near by.

During the conversation, it is believed that the ring and pickaxe were taken from inside the house.

Following a review of CCTV in the area, investigators believe that all three men pictured left the scene in a white Ford Focus.

In addition to finding the trio, officers are also appealing for any dash cam footage recorded by motorists in the area between 1.45pm and 2.15pm on Friday.

Anyone who recognises the men in the images is asked to call Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting 46/163464/20.
