Police are investigating a spate of thefts that occurred at the weekend.

Several items of jewellery, including two gold and white diamond tennis bracelets and two gold rings encrusted with stones, were stolen from a house on Barrack Close, St. George's on Friday.

The sneak thief entered the property some time during the day while the occupants were out and stole the jewellery after searching through the bedroom.

Also on Friday a thief walked off with a pair of size 12 construction boots which were stolen from The Shoe Centre on Court Street. The thief asked to try on the boots and, when the shop assistant was distracted, ran out of the store and escaped on a motorcycle.

The thief is described as being dark skinned, tall and wearing sunglasses.
