Police are asking for your help to find items of sentimental value, including two war medals, stolen from a burglary in Bessacarr.
Sometime between 4-5.30pm on Monday 29 August, offenders unknown have entered a house in Stoops Lane, via an unlocked back door.
They have then proceeded to steal a number of items of gold jewellery and a men’s gold pocket watch. The pocket watch belonged to the late Major Herbert Baker (pictured), M.B.E, M.C., M.S.M, T.D., who fought in World War I and the Boer War during his 42-year army career with the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry before retiring in 1930.
The watch is extremely distinctive as it bears the crest of the regiment (pictured) and is engraved with “Presented by the members of the 5th K.O.Y.L.I Ex-Officers Club to Major H Barker M.B.E, M.C, M.S.M, T.D.”
A General Service Medal for Malaya (pictured), engraved with DH Barker around the sides, was also stolen.
Officers want to hear from you if know anything about the incident or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area at around that time.
Do you know who is responsible? Have you seen any of the stolen items for sale?
If you have any information, please call 101 and quote incident number 1161 of 29 August 2016.
You can also give information to Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111.
