A diamond ring was among jewellery stolen during a burglary, thought to be linked with another in Folkestone on the same night.

Detectives are linking the two incidents in the town, which occurred on Friday evening.

Detective Constable Rob Goodban said: "On both occasions glass doors at the back of the properties were broken to gain access.

"We are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen people acting suspiciously in either area on Friday night or who has information about the burglaries."
