Gold rings stolen from shop in 'brazen theft'

Police want to speak to two men in connection with the investigation

Thousands of pounds worth of gold rings have been stolen from a shop.

Devon and Cornwall Police has issued an appeal for witnesses after 16 handmade gold rings with precious stones were taken from Clare Mason Studio, on Chapel Street, Penzance, in Cornwall, on Tuesday, 5 August.

The force said two men entered the shop and took a glass display cabinet before they made off towards the Wharfside area, via Chapel Street and Abbey Slip.

Police said six of the rings were dropped in nearby streets and were recovered.

PC Gabe Abbott said: "This was a brazen theft in broad daylight and fortunately no-one was injured.

"We would like to hear from anyone who recognises the men pictured as they may be able to assist with our investigation.

"These rings are distinctive so we would further ask traders and second hand dealers, as well as the public, to call us if they are offered them for sale."

Police have asked witnesses to get in touch.
