Hunt on for Bentley jewellery thieves
The YamYam 20 Mar 10
A 42-year-old Bentley woman was seriously assaulted and threatened at her Poplar Avenue home by two men who made off with several thousand pounds worth of Asian gold jewellery and cash on Wednesday afternoon.
The robbers were disturbed at around 2:50pm on 17th March when the woman arrived home. As she unlocked her front door she heard footsteps at the side of her house and went to investigate.
The two men then pounced, bundled the woman to the floor before assaulting and threatening her. The men then fled with cash and a variety of Asian gold jewellery.
DC Mark Waite, from Bloxwich CID, said: "The offenders assaulted the victim causing her injuries. The level of violence used against this lady, someone who posed no threat to her assailants, was totally unwarranted. She required hospital treatment for bruising to her ribs, back and neck”.
Both men are described as white, 5ft 9ins tall and in their early 20s. One spoke with a local accent and is said to have been wearing a dark, tightly fitting beanie hat.
DC Waite added: "I'd urge anyone with information to contact us, particularly anyone suspicious of somebody who has inexplicably come across a significant amount of cash or gold jewellery."
Amongst the items stolen were rings – some featuring emerald green, white diamond, or black precious stones – and necklaces with diamond encrusted ball and heart-shaped pendants.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Bloxwich CID on 0845 113 5000 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
