TWO distinctive items of jewellery were stolen when burglars targeted a Scarborough home.

An 18-carat white gold diamond cluster ring containing Asscher and Baguette cut diamonds, which also has 20 round brilliant-cut diamonds on it, and a distinctive Raymond Weil watch, with a black facewith diamonds, were both stolen from the home in the Northway and Victoria Road area some time before 1pm on Sunday.

“I’d appeal to anyone who has any information about these stolen items to come forward and assist the police with this investigation.”
