Family jewellery, including a bride’s wedding pieces, and a five figure sum of cash have been stolen during a house break in.

The jewellery worth more than £20,000 and £7,000 in cash was taken during the raid.

The high-value house break in happened in Ellon Way, Gallowhill, on Monday between 5.30pm and 9.30pm.

Detective Sergeant Nathan Calderwood, Paisley CID, said today:

“Thankfully there wasn’t anyone in the house at the time of the break-in, however, to come back and find that someone has been inside your home and stolen personal items is very upsetting.

“To make matters worse, the jewellery stolen was wedding jewellery, including a traditional gold Asian wedding necklace, and so had significant sentimental value.

“Officers have been speaking to neighbours and are checking CCTV in the area to identify those responsible for the break-in but are still appealing to anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously around the house at the time to contact them.

“If you have any information that will assist officers with their investigation then please contact Paisley CID via 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
