Ballymena woman devastated as family jewellery stolen in daylight burglary

A woman from Co Antrim has spoken of her devastation as a number of sentimental pieces of jewellery were taken from the family home in a burglary earlier this week.

Sarah McLaughlin, from Ballymena, said her brother had left the house early in the morning on Tuesday, December 13, to go to work delivering prescriptions. When he returned after 5pm, he found the back door was open and several drawers in the home had also been left open.

From these drawers, a number of sentimental pieces of jewellery were stolen, including Sarah's dad's gold Jaeger-LeCoultre watch he bought in 1964, his gold wedding ring with three diamonds, and her grandfather's rose gold pocket watch.
