POLICE are keen to trace two spoons which were amongst £30,000 worth of jewellery and antiques stolen from a bungalow in King's Somborne.

Thieves forced the rear patio doors of the home of an elderly woman overnight on Monday 7 October 2002 and emptied the property of virtually everything of any value. Jewellery and antique silver were taken, including the distinctive spoons. They are engraved 'REC to CHA 1907' and are of huge sentimental value.

Anyone who has seen the spoons or who has been offered any antique silver or jewellery for sale, is urged to call the confidential Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 for a possible reward.
