Appeal after burglary at Lancaster's GB Antiques

Police are appealing for information after a burglar stole over £7,000 worth of jewellery during a break-in at a Lancaster antique shop last week.

The burglar broke into GB Antiques at Lancaster Leisure Park on Wyresdale Road, at around 10.00pm on Wednesday 28th July, after smashing a window to gain access to the property.

The offender then removed a number of pieces of jewellery from a wooden cabinet before making off.

Included in the stolen haul were a £900 gold chain with a locket to keep sovereigns in and a £1,200 heavy gold chain with a diamond encrusted flower shaped pendant.

DC Colin Forsyth, Lancaster CID, said: “We would like to speak to anyone who may have been approached by someone selling a large amount of jewellery, or something resembling these two quite distinctive items.”

GB Antiques and Furniture Centre is one of the North West's biggest and most loved antiques centres, with over 140 individual dealers, each with their own specialities.
