Detective Constable Scott Barefoot from Croydon CID said: "If you recognise any of these items, then please get in touch. We believe that the jewellery has been stolen and it is likely that it would have been from the Croydon area.

"We would like to reunite the items with their rightful owners if possible and it will also assist with our investigations if we can establish to whom the items belong."
