JEWELLERY with great sentimental value was stolen from a home in Colchester.
Two medallions were among the items taken during a raid in Greenwood Grove.
Police are appealing for information to help catch the crooks and recover the items.
Thieves broke into the property through a rear door sometime between Saturday January 9 and Tuesday January 19.
One of the medallions is gold with single link chains.
It has an image of a dragon.
The second has a double happiness symbol.
The appeal was launched today.
Anyone who has any information about the burglary or who has been offered these medallions for sale is asked to contact PC Lucy Percival at Colchester CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
