Police have released images of more than 200 items of jewellery they believe to have been stolen in a bid to reunite them with their rightful owners.

A large quantity of jewellery including rings, necklaces, watches, earrings, brooches and cufflinks were found as part of investigations into burglaries in Cambridgeshire earlier this month.

“We’re keen to reunite these items with their rightful owners. Many of the items will likely hold significant sentimental value to their owners.”
