Published
The burglary happened at a house in Newport when thieves gained entry to the property by forcing a window open at the front.
They then entered the house on Wrekin Avenue, at midnight on Monday, where they searched rooms to find anything of value.
The thieves managed to find £400 made up of £2 coins and a quantity of jewellery.
The break in was discovered by the occupant after they returned home yesterday morning.
Constable Lee Thomas from the Newport Safer Neighbourhood Team has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He said: "The home that was attacked is in quite a busy area and the thieves must have made some amount of noise forcing their way in through a window facing onto the main street.
"House to house inquiries were undertaken by officers who attended this incident but hopefully we can jog someone's memory to a strange noise or unknown people in the cul-de-sac sometime that night.
"The occupant left the house at about 8.00pm on Monday night and returned at 6.00am the following morning to find their home had been ransacked.
"If you saw or heard anything, or have any information as to who is responsible, please get in touch.
"Similarly, if you are offered jewellery items very cheaply or if someone suddenly wants to pay you for items in a large number of £2 coins, we would like to hear from you."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference 61S 300615.
