Police launch manhunt after armed burglars stage terrifying jewelry raid on house – as officers launch enchantment to seek out Land Rover seen close to the scene
Jewel thieves are being hunted by police after a ‘terrifying’ three-hour raid.
The armed burglars made off with a ‘considerable amount’ of valuables – including diamond rings, necklaces, and a watch – after arriving and fleeing in a Land Rover.
Thieves broke in through a broken window and conducted a three-hour search of the house in the early hours of the morning.
Detectives have issued pictures of the 4X4 car and some of the jewellery that was stolen in the break in as they try to trace the crooks.
North Wales Police said: ‘We are hoping to trace the vehicle in connection with an aggravated burglary in Llandudno.
‘In the early hours of Sunday, November 3rd, a house on Abbey Road, Llandudno was targeted by burglars between 12.41am and 3.33am, where a quantity of jewellery was stolen.
‘The items including diamond rings, two necklaces, a watch, a bracelet and costume jewellery are pictured below.’
