They broke through a locked first floor window at a house in Martens Meadow, Braintree, on March 12 between 11am and 11.30pm.

They also took a gold necklace with white stones worth £400, a gold bracelet with blue pearls worth £300, five gold rings worth £200 and a gold pendant with a Sikh symbol on.
