Men in balaclavas raid Hampshire home for gold jewellery
A TRIO of men are being hunted by police after breaking into a home and stealing jewellery from inside.
Between 5.30pm and 6.30pm on Wednesday, three men broke into a flat in Lamerton Close, Bordon, wearing balaclavas and one man armed with a metal pole.
The three stole some gold jewellery before they were disturbed by the victim returning home – and fled the scene in a black 5 series BMW.
A spokesman from Hampshire Constabulary said: ‘We are appealing for information following a report of an aggravated burglary at a flat in Lamerton Close.
‘We are keen to hear from anyone with information that may help our investigation.
‘Were you in this area at the time? Do you remember seeing something suspicious?
‘Perhaps you remember seeing a black 5 series BMW?’
Police officers are keen to remind people to protect themselves from being burgled, urging people to lock all doors and windows, make sure any valuables are out of sight in a safe location and to set a burglar alarm.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting the crime reference number 44200035250.
