Police are appealing for information after a watch was stolen from a house in Morecambe which belonged to the owner’s late husband.

Between 12.30pm and 3.45pm on Tuesday 13th September, somebody broke into a house on Sefton Road, Heysham and stole a Samsung television as well as an Omega watch.

The watch belonged to the female owner’s late husband and is of huge sentimental value to her.

Police are keen to find the person or people responsible for this burglary in the hope that they will be able to reunite the woman with the watch which means so much to her.

“If anybody was in the area at the time of the burglary and saw anything suspicious then I would urge them to contact police.

“I would also be very keen to speak with anybody who has any information they think could help us progress this investigation.”
