Burglars stole lifetime of memories from Alcester grandmother

AN ALCESTER grandmother has spoken of her shock after her home was broken into and thousands of pounds’ worth of jewellery stolen.

Jan Masterton arrived back at her apartment in the town’s High Street on the night of Sunday 11th May to find the glass side panel beside the front door smashed.

The 81-year-old, who’s been living there for more than 20 years, soon realised the thieves had found her jewellery box and taken 11 items. These included a solid 18-carat gold bangle set with diamonds and a 24-carat gold necklace.

Many of the pieces stolen have precious memories for Jan, and can’t ever be replaced, such as a pair of white gold and pearl earrings.
