A CCTV image of a man has been released by detectives hunting a burglar who broke into a house and stole gold and diamond jewellery.

It happened in Orchard Close, Littlebourne, during the day on Friday, January 12.

But the investigation has now resulted in CCTV footage of a suspect which police hope will lead to his identification.

The missing items include a gold necklace with a pendant featuring a heart and cross design, a gold necklace with a gold flower pendant with a clear diamond stone centre, a pair of gold stud earrings with a flower design and a clear diamond stone centre, plain gold bangles and a medium sized gold chain with red bead-like stones.

Officers have conducted a number of inquiries, including an earlier witness appeal, and are now appealing for help to help identify a man they want to speak with.

They have also issued an image of one of the items reported stolen.

Anyone who has information should call Kent Police on 01843 222289 quoting ZY/2437/18.
