Published on 07/08/09

THOUSANDS of pounds worth of unique jewellery was stolen by raiders.

Police are appealing for information after the £7,000 haul was snatched from Lime Kiln Cottage guesthouse at Chaldon Herring, near Winfrith.

PC Paul Holman of Wareham police said: “The majority of this jewellery was handmade and is consequently unique.

“The owner, a 50-year-old woman, kept her jewellery in a concealed place and rarely used it – this is why she is not sure when the jewellery first went |missing.

“I am appealing to any jewellers or goldsmiths who have been offered a large amount of bespoke jewellery in unusual circumstances, or perhaps for an unusually small amount of money, to contact me urgently.”
