JEWELLERY was stolen as two homes were burgled within an hour.

Police were called over the break-ins at properties in Crawley on September 24.

The first was reported at midday at Arden Road, and another was then reported at Sylvan Road in the Furnace Green area of the town.

Investigator Natasha Smith said: “The houses are about eight minutes walk from each other and the burglaries happened barely an hour apart.

“We are asking anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen or heard some suspicious or unusual activity to contact us.”

Anyone with information can report it on the Sussex Police website or call 101 and quote 688 of 24/09.
