Police are appealing for anyone who has been offered a gold bar for sale to come forward.

Burglars stole the half-ounce bar from a home in Ripon Way, Borehamwood, between 12 noon on Thursday, March 12 and 4.15pm on Saturday, March 14.

They also took a yellow gold necklace with Figaro links, a gold ring with diamonds, a plain gold ring and a yellow and rose gold ring with a zirconia stone.

Assistant investigator Sally Johnson said: “I am appealing for members of the public or businesses who may have been offered a half-ounce gold bar for sale, or any of the other stolen items, to please get in touch as soon as possible.

“I’d also be interested to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious behaviour around the area and during the stated times.”
