The two watches are a Breitling Watch with a white face and silver strap and a Tag Heuer 2000 series executive watch with a cream / pear coloured face and silver strap.

A police spokesman said: "Both of these were gifts which hold a sentimental value to the family.

"We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

"In particular, we are appealing for information about two men who were seen acting suspiciously at the time within the village."
