Jewellery Stolen In Burglary
Jewellery worth more than £2,500 has been stolen from a property in Cambridge.
The robbery happened on 14 November, sometime between 9.30am and 6.45pm.
It is thought those behind the burglary broke into the house on Shelford Road and searched each room in the house, before fleeing with a number of items of jewellery.
The items include a fold chain worth about £1,000, a yellow-sapphire gold ring from Thailand, a silver chain necklace, a silver link bracelet with blue opals, a gold bracelet from Hong Kong, a diamond ring, a diamond and ruby gold ring, a gold necklace with amethyst, a silver pendant necklace with a blue centre and a three-strand woven gold bracelet, also from Hong Kong.
DC Cheryl Harris, Cambridgeshire Constabulary, said: "These are distinct items of jewellery which mean a lot to the victims so I urge anyone who may have seen them, or been offered them for sale, to contact police."
Appeal For Missing Woman, Aged 80
Police have renewed their appeal for information regarding missing person Ann Grisman.
Ms Grisman, 80, went missing on Friday after going on a shopping trip to Taunton.
Officers have said she arrived in Wellington in a taxi with three others and she exited the vehicle in the car park of Waitrose. However, while it was initially reported that she got back into the taxi, police have said that is not the case.
They are now concentrating their efforts in Nynehead, just outside Wellington, where there was a sighting of Ann on Sunday.
She is described as white, about 5ft 4ins tall with silver coloured hair.
She wears glasses and when she was last seen, she was wearing a red coat and carrying a red handbag.
Police have said they are concerned for Ann as she does not have any medication with her.
Anyone with information, or who has spotted Ms Grisman, is asked to contact police on 101.
Teenager Hit By Car In Glasgow
A teenager is said to be in a critical condition after being struck by a car twice.
Police have said they are treating the incident as attempted murder.
The victim, 18, is thought to have been walking along Inveresk Street with two of his friends when he was hit by a small black car at around 8pm on Sunday (30 November).
A male passenger then got out of the car and argued with the group. He got back into the car, which returned shortly afterwards and deliberately hit the boy.
He suffered a serious head injury in the incident.
Detective Sergeant WIlliam Downie is quoted as saying: "This was a deliberate, targeted attack on the 18-year-old man who has sustained a very serious head injury.
"Our inquiries now focus not only in tracing those responsible for this despicable attack but also in establishing the motive behind it."
He added that a number of witnesses had already come forward, but anyone with information, and who may also be able to help with the investigation, is asked to contact them.
