A CCTV image has been released of a masked man - after expensive jewels were stolen from two homes - in the hope someone will still recognise him.

A man broke into two private properties in Camden Park in Tunbridge Wells on Thursday, May 8, between 10.30am and 11.45am. High-value gold jewellery, including rings, were reported stolen.

Initial investigations have included a review of available CCTV footage and house-to-house inquiries.

Investigating officers are now asking for the public’s help to identify the man in the image they’ve released.

Detective Constable Celia King said: “We appreciate that the man’s face is obscured by a face covering, but we hope that somebody may still recognise him.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact the West Kent appeals line on 01622 604100 quoting reference 46/76278/25.

Local residents with private CCTV or drivers with dashcam footage who were in the area at the time are also encouraged to check their recordings for potential evidence.
