CHESTERFIELD – A township resident is offering a reward for any information leading to the return of antique jewelry taken during a Sept. 19 burglary at a home on Barbara Drive.
Sgt. Kyle Wilson said 16 items that the resident had inherited were taken from the home.
The items taken include a platinum wrist watch set with diamonds, a gold wedding band set with diamonds, a sapphire bracelet, a sapphire ring and topaz earrings.
Sgt. Wilson would not comment on the exact value of the jewelry, but said the items are worth a significant amount.
The resident called police on Sept. 19 at 9:20 p.m. after returning home and finding the items missing.
