A DIAMOND ring worth around £24,000 has been stolen in a robbery at a town centre jewellers in Bridlington.

Police have released two different e-fit images of a man they believe is responsible for the theft – and are urging witnesses to come forward.

The ring was stolen from Griffins Jewellers, in Prospect Street, last Saturday between 12.45pm and 12.57pm.

Det Sgt Tom Napier, of Bridlington CID, said a man, aged between 30 and 42, went into the shop and asked to look at the jewellery at the window.

After pointing out an item in the window display to the female shop assistant, the the man forced his way past her to grab a ring in the display.
