BBC News OnlineA shopkeeper has spoken of how she is still kept awake, days after would-be burglars tried to steal from her business.
The woman, who wished only to be known as Mrs Mann, works in a shop in Broxtowe that was targeted as part of a spate of distraction burglaries across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
She said about eight people filed in to the store on Wednesday afternoon and bombarded her and her partner with questions. Some of the group then tried to sneak in to their storage area behind the counter while they were distracted but were spotted by a regular shopper.
When Mrs Mann and her partner confronted them, they started pushing and shoving before leaving. Mrs Mann said the experience was "traumatic".
Police say it happened at another shop on the street and one in Clifton, where they took "a variety of jewellery". Derbyshire Police are investigating five similar incidents.
They have today released CCTV images of people they would like to speak to about it.

The company announced massive job losses last June - 4,600 worldwide and around half of them in Derby.
Image source, Getty ImagesJust over 800 people have gone so far including HR, IT, engineering and finance managers. The vast majority of them were contractors.
Only 10 people have faced compulsory redundancy instead of an initial prediction of more than 100.
Rolls-Royce has said its job losses will "gain momentum" this year but unions claim the next round of cuts could prove tricky.
The firm is facing a backlog of engine orders that means it can't spare many of its employees.

Uni to research effect of art and culture on childrenpublished at 08:16 Greenwich Mean Time 28 January 2019
Amy Payne
Reporter, BBC East Midlands TodayHundreds of babies are being recruited by a new project in Leicester which will help find out if regular exposure to art can stimulate a child's development.
Talent25 involves tracking the lives of children from birth and the impact of art and cultural activities on their lives until they're 25.
The project is being led by Arts Council England and De Montfort University and the recruitment of babies starts in the spring.
Vice Chancellor Dominic Shellard said: "We all know arts and culture are good for people but no-one's ever been able to prove it.
"So if we can come up with the data that proves going to the theatre and engaging with music is going to help your employability when you leave school or college, it's just the kind of data the government need to make funding decisions."
