BURGLARS stole a large sum of cash and jewellery after raiding a house in St Osyth.

Diamond rings, pearls, penchants and emerald jewellery were among the items stolen, some of which belonged to the Dumont Road homeowner's late husband.

The burglary happened between June 11-12.

£50 notes were also taken and police are keen to hear from shops or businesses which have had people regularly presenting large notes to them.
