Police are appealing for witnesses after a break-in between Letchworth and Stotfold in which an air rifle and some watches were stolen.

The incident happened at a property in Stotfold Road between 10am and 1pm on Sunday.

DC Claire Case, investigating, said: “I’m appealing for anyone who may have noticed anything suspicious in this area at the time to get in touch, as well as anyone who may have been offered the watches or an air rifle.

“In particular I’m looking to speak to a smartly-dressed man in a grey car who was seen outside the property just after 10am. He may have witnessed something that could help us with our investigation.”
