Burglary in Whiteley, Fareham, on June 29th - Police release images of suspects

Police investigating a burglary at a house in Whiteley near Fareham have released images of three suspects.

The burglary happened on Lee Ground between 11.30am and midday last Wednesday (June 29). The suspects gained entry by 'popping' a window out of its UPVC casing and, once inside, stole jewellery including necklaces, bracelets, watches and earrings.

 

The three suspects are described as:

1. White man, stocky build, blonde/brown, curly, short hair, facial hair, wearing a grey hooded top, sport tracksuit bottoms with stripes down the side

2. White man, slim build, short brown, curly hair, wearing a white shirt and blue jumper with grey trousers

3. White man, brown hair, blue and white stripy top, light blue jeans.

 

PC Richard Jones from the Winchester Priority Crime team said:  "The total amount of jewellery stolen is worth at least several thousand pounds. We've got some good quality images of the suspects which we're releasing to the public in the hope someone recognises them or saw them in the area at the time. It might be that they were looking at similar properties or called at homes in the neighbourhood.

 

"Remember, if you see anyone acting suspicious and you think a burglary's in progress always dial 999. Likewise, if you're offered property, such as jewellery, which you think is stolen, you can let the police know in confidence."

 

Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to contact PC Jones at Winchester police station on 101 or 0845 045 45 45. You can also call the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
