Thieves steal jewellery worth £500,000 from London home
They took family heirlooms
Thieves have stolen £500,000 worth of jewellery from a home in south east London.
Police tell us the items, which include family heirlooms, were taken from a house in Bickley Road, in Bromley in December.
Eight months on, officers have now released pictures of some of the things stolen in a bid to track them down.
Detective Constable Jamie White, of the Met's South Area Command Unit, described the monetary value of the theft as "enormous" but "the sentimental value is priceless".
Police are looking for three men who forced their way in through a bathroom window while the owners were out.
They entered the address at 5.40pm and left at 6.25pm.
Dc White said: "While the monetary value of this theft is enormous, the sentimental value is priceless - with many of the pieces being passed down through generations of the family.
"Helpfully, a number of the pieces stolen are unique, so we are hoping that releasing these photographs will jog someone's memory."
Anyone who may have seen the items or who knows of anyone handling the goods is asked to get in touch with the Met via 101, quoting 01/1257889/24.
