Some of the items are very distinctive and police are appealing for information about the theft and asking anyone who is offered the jewellery for sale to contact them.

PC Michael Wilson, of Northallerton Police, said: “It is likely that whoever has stolen it will try to sell it to cash exchange shops, second hand shops or at car boot sales.”

A number of items were stolen including a 1960s gold bangle, silver owl brooch with green and blue eyes and scarab beetle brooch in green set on gold brooch background. Call police on 101.
