Officers made the arrests on Thursday after searching properties in Cheltenham, Churchdown and Gloucester.

Four men and a woman remain in custody.

A 41-year-old man from Churchdown, a 38-year-old woman from Gloucester, a 33-year-old man from Cheltenham, a 21-year-old man from Cheltenham and an 18-year-old man from Cheltenham were all arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Acting Ch Insp Marcus Forbes-George, from Gloucestershire Police, said: "We've been working tirelessly since the burglary was reported to us, as brazen crimes like this will not be tolerated here in Gloucestershire.

"Crimes like these have a massive impact on victims and we will do everything we can to bring those responsible to justice."

Officers are asking anyone who witnessed the burglary, saw suspicious activity in the area or who has information which could assist the investigation to make contact.
