A large stash of jewellery - including gold rings, necklaces and a brooch - has been stolen from a Cliftonville home.

Burglars also took cash from the Eastchurch Road property as they escaped with a safe in the night-time raid.

The burglary happened between 9pm and 10pm on September 18, and police are now appealing for any witnesses - or anyone who has recently seen the jewellery - to come forward.

The stolen items include an Edwardian-style gold bangle featuring flowers made of pearls, an opal ring on a plain gold band, a gold cameo ring and a turquoise flower ring.

A white gold chain necklace with a floating heart, a Victorian pearl brooch featuring a swallow, and an engraved silver bangle with a safety chain were also taken.

Investigating officer DC Rebecca Keeler said: "We now have images of some of the missing jewellery and are appealing for anyone who may have seen these items or been offered them for sale, to come forward.

"We would also like to hear from anyone with information regarding the burglary. Our officers would like to thank those who have already spoken to police."

Witnesses should call 01843 222289 quoting 46/181751/21
