A search had been made of all rooms and a laundry basket emptied, possibly using the laundry to carry away the stolen property. From the ground floor, two silver coasters, two silver candlesticks and a silver tea set consisting of a tray, teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl were stolen. On the first floor, a search was made of three of the four bedrooms. A black leather box containing 12 pairs of earrings and a box of loose change were taken. The offenders appear to have left the property via the same window they gained entry, and have dropped further items into a flower bed whilst making their escape. (incident number 219/25.02.08.)
