JEWELLERY was stolen in two burglaries on Broadway and Malvern this week.

Offenders broke into a house in Church Street, Broadway, between 10.45am and noon on Monday, and stole silverware and jewellery worth over £2,000.

Items stolen include an antique pearl necklace, a gold necklace with a diamond pendant and silver sapphire drop earrings.

And on Tuesday, a house on Belvoir Bank, Malvern, was burgled between 8am and 4pm.

A flat-screen TV, perfume and items of silver jewellery, including five bracelets and three necklaces, were stolen.

Detective Sergeant David Knight from Worcester CID said: "We do not believe that these incidents are linked due to the distance between the locations.

"However, both happened during daylight hours in residential areas, so there is a chance that local people may have witnessed something which could help us.

"I would appeal to anyone who may have seen any suspicious vehicles or people in the areas to call us as soon as possible."

Anyone with information can call Det Sgt Knight on 0300 333 3000 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. The incident number for the Broadway burglary is 219S 090712 and for the Malvern break-in is 131N 100712.
