Witnesses are being sought after a nine carat yellow gold watch was stolen from a house in Lowestoft.

Police are appealing for information after the watch – of great sentimental value – was stolen from the house on Corton Road last Friday (Boxing Day, December 26).

The house was broken into between 11.30am and 5pm, with the nine carat yellow gold Gerrards Jewellers men's watch stolen.

A police spokesman said: 'The watch was engraved and had been inherited by the owner from his grandfather.'
