High value jewellery stolen in break-in at house in Glasgow’s Southside

Between 7pm and 8.25 pm yesterday evening (Thursday, July 23), a house in Whitacres Road, South Nitshill, was broken in to and a quantity of Asian gold jewellery, as well as cash and clothing, was stolen.

The jewellery was a mixture of high value pieces.

There was no one in the house at the time of the break-in.

Detective Constable John Grant, Community Investigation Unit, Govan, Glasgow, said: “From CCTV, we can see a black BMW x5 drive round and round the street prior to the break-in. We would like to speak to the driver as they may have information that will help our enquiry.

“We believe that this house was specifically targeted as the thieves seemed to know there would be a significant amount of gold jewellery within.

“The break-in has been very upsetting for the family and whilst the jewellery is valuable in monetary terms, it is also of great sentimental value.”

Anyone with information that could assist officers with their investigation, particularly anyone who might have dash-cam footage from the street between 7pm and 8.25pm, is asked to call Govan Police Office on 101, quoting reference number 3336 of 23 July 2020. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
