Daylight Burglars Steal Jewellery Worth £20k From Bothwell Home

Published on 09/10/09

THIEVES made off with £22,000-worth of jewellery and watches after breaking into a home.

The raiders’ haul included a Breitling Navigator watch, a gent’s Tag Heuer watch and a large quantity of jewellery, including an 18-carat gold diamond solitaire ring.

Police this week appealed for witnesses or any information concerning the theft, which occurred at a house in Fallside Road, Bothwell, on Monday, September 14, between 8am and noon.

Just before the police were contacted, a green Nissan car was seen parked outside the property.

Three or four men were seen inside the vehicle, with another man seen leaving the property with a black bag, which he put in the boot.

Constable Natalie Johnston, who is leading the investigation, has appealed for the public’s help in tracking down the car.

“We would really like to speak to anyone who has more information about this vehicle,” she said.

“We would also like to speak to anyone who may have seen the occupants of the vehicle.

“The time that this house-breaking took place was broad daylight, therefore we are keen to speak to anyone who may have information, however trivial they think it is, or anyone who may have seen something suspicious.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Hamilton Police Office on 483300, or alternatively, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, where calls are free and anonymity can be maintained.
