BURGLARS raided a house while a newly-married couple were on honeymoon, stealing weddings gifts and Christmas presents.

The raid happened in Woodham Drive, Sunderland, between 1pm on Tuesday, December 12 and 11.30am on Wednesday, December 13.

Officers are carrying out inquiries and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Among the items stolen were two Michael Kors watches, an Armani watch, a Tiffany bracelet and Tiffany earrings.

Also taken were an All Saints burnt orange suede bag, five or six Jo Malone gift sets (in yellow and black striped gift bags) and a boxed vacuum.

Members of the public offered similar items for sale, including second hand shops or online, are urged to get in contact with police.

Detective Sergeant Steve Wallace, who is dedicated to investigating burglaries, said: “It is devastating to think that a couple who were on their honeymoon have had their home broken into and gifts given to them to celebrate their wedding stolen while they were away.

“I would urge anyone who has any information that can help to get in contact with us.”

Anyone with information should contact Northumbria Police on 101 quoting reference 365 131217 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
