Crooks broke in and found a Swiss Rolex – in Barne Barton

Burglars made off with around £100 of jewellery and foreign cash from a Plymouth property.

Police are hoping people may have spotted a gold-coloured replica Rolex Datejust – similar to the one shown – being offered around town at a knock-down price following the break-in on April 5 in Foulston Avenue, Barne Barton.

Investigators believe the thieves forced open the property’s rear uPVC door using tools sometime between 6.30pm and 11pm, made and untidy search of the house before making off with their ill-gotten booty.

Among the haul was the Rolex Replica, a black and gold men’s Fossil replica watches, a pair of men’s 18ct diamond earrings, a pair of men’s nine carat gold earrings, 115 Euros and 285 US dollars.
