Mercedes car, cash and 'high value' jewellery stolen from Portsmouth home during burglary

Between 7am and 11.15am yesterday (March 3) two people forced their way in to a home in Hartley Road while the occupants were out.

They got in through the front door and a large quantity of cash was taken as well as a safe containing several items of high value jewellery. A car was also taken but recovered further along the road.

A spokeswoman for Hampshire police said: ‘We would like to hear from anyone with information that may assist our enquiries.

‘Did you see two people in the area at the time?

‘Perhaps you saw them outside with the safe or driving away in a gold Mercedes before they left it at the junction with Magdalen Road?

‘Maybe you have CCTV/Ring Doorbell or dashcam footage from the area at the time?

‘We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises the two people pictured, seen in the area at the time, who we would like to speak to in connection with this incident.

‘We appreciate that you can’t see their faces, but the images may help jog the memory of anyone who was in the area at the time.
