Officers investigating a number of alleged burglaries in the Long Eaton area believe that a number of highly sentimental pieces of jewellery were sold in a local pawnbroker.

The five pieces, which all belong to elderly victims, were all sold at the Cash Monkey shop in High Street in late 2020 and early 2021.

A Samsung J3 mobile phone, which is also believed to have been stolen, was sold from the same shop sometime after 13 January 2021.

Anyone who has purchased any of the items is asked to contact Derbyshire police. They will not be left out of pocket as they will be reimbursed by Cash Monkey for the items.
