Thieves steal jewellery of 'tremendous' sentimental value and four-figure sum of cash from Renfrew house

Thieves have stolen jewellery of 'tremendous' sentimental value and a four-figure sum of cash from a house in Renfrew.

The traditional Chinese-style jewellery - worth a five-figure sum - was stolen from the address on Cockels Loan during a break-in on Wednesday, January 26.

No one was in the home when it was raided sometime between 4pm and 6.30pm.

Detectives are currently carrying out enquiries in the area, including checking CCTV, and are keen to talk to a man seen in the area around the time of the robbery.

Detective Inspector Iain Ross, Renfrew CID, said: "Whilst the jewellery is of significant value - it is also of tremendous sentimental value to the owners who are understandably very upset by the theft.

"Officers are carrying out enquiries in the area and are checking CCTV. We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously around the house between 11.30am and 6.30pm.

"We are particularly keen to trace a man seen in the area around 5.30pm entering a car, either an old style Ford Fiesta or a black Audi estate car, parked near the address. Those two cars were in the area at the time and drove off down Cockles Loan towards the junction with Paisley Road.

"The man is described as white, 5ft 8in in height, slim build, in his late 20s, with short fair hair. He was wearing black trousers and a black polo top."

"Anyone with information can contact officers at Paisley Police Station via 101 quoting reference number 0203 of Thursday, 27 January, 2022. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
