A burglary victim has offered to pay a reward of $10,000 for the return of sentimental family jewellery stolen during a raid.
The Berwick home was broken into overnight on Wednesday, 9 January, whilst the house was unoccupied.
A rose gold bangle with a milk opal and a safety chain that was handed down from its owner’s mother, an opal sea shell necklace, pearls, rings including wedding and engagement were among the items of jewellery taken.
Two televisions and a collection of Swarovski Disney crystals were also stolen.
Further, an Order of Australia Medal that was awarded to the homeowner for her welfare work was also taken.
These are sentimental items that are hard to replace.“It’s a warning that it can happen to just ordinary people. It’s really disappointing,” the homeowner said.
“Don’t assume that you are protected, you need to install security and put your precious things away.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Narre Warren Police on 9705 3111 or Tania on 0417 138 193.
