Burglars stole a safe containing £50,000 worth of currency and jewellery.

The property in York Road, Sutton was broken into on Wednesday, October 10 between 7.30am and 4.10pm.

They gained entry by smashing a window into the study.

The safe, which was fixed in a bedroom wardrobe, contained Asian jewellery, English and foreign currency as well as passports and bank cards.

These cards were used later the same day around 5pm to withdraw a total of £700 from cash machines at NatWest in Streatham High Road.

Two laptops were also taken.
