A Hampshire couple are offering a £10,000 reward for the return of jewellery stolen in a break-in at their home.

A safe containing what police describe as "high value" items was stolen from a house at Church Hill, Milford-on-Sea, between February 27 and March 1.

A police spokesman said: "Some of the property is irreplaceable and of great sentimental value to the owners, which has prompted them to offer this reward."

The stolen items include expensive gold and diamond designer bracelets, ear-rings, rings and necklaces.

Cartier, Rolex and Bvlgari watches and other irreplaceable items of expensive jewellery, many from the Theo Fennell range, were also taken.

"Detectives have carried out a number of lines of enquiry, including appeals to owners of second hand jewellery shops and antique dealers who may have been offered the stolen items," added the police spokesman.
