Jewellery was stolen during a burglary at a North Watford house last night.

Officers, including dog handlers, raced to Hare Crescent at 8.43pm on Thursday following reports that burglars were in the property.

The police helicopter was also called out in an attempt to locate the thieves but no arrests were made.

Police said thieves gained entry to the house by forcing the patio doors before they stole unspecified jewellery.

Call police on the 101 enquiry line with any information.
