Police are appealing for information as they work to reunite a Mapperley couple with hugely sentimental jewellery stolen during a break-in at their home.
The items were stolen during a burglary on October 9, 2024.
The couple returned to their home to discover the break-in had taken place at some point between 11.15am and 1.15pm.
Officers have arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of burglary but the investigation is ongoing.
They are now also working to trace the collection of jewellery.
Police Constable Jessica Roffe, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The victims were left extremely upset by the break-in and particularly the loss of this sentimental jewellery which was very important to them and their family.
“Officers have been working hard to trace the items by visiting jewellery shops and carrying out other inquiries.
“However, we’d also like to ask for the public’s help. If you’ve seen or been offered items like these for sale, either online or in person, or have any more information that could help us track them down, we’d ask that you please get in touch with us.”
The images are not the actual items but very similar pieces of jewellery found online.
Another stolen item is described as a solid ‘Gold Pigeon Medal’ which has ‘Saxton Brothers 1928 – Young Birds Champions’ inscribed with an enamel image of a blue pigeon on it.
Anyone with any information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 340 of 9 October 2024, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
