Burglars escaped with jewellery after ransacking the home of a pensioner in Gillingham.

Police are now seeking witnesses following the burglary of the home in Broadview Avenue, between 1pm and 5pm on Wednesday August 18.

Investigators say the victim, a woman in her 80s, returned home to find the jewellery had been taken following an untidy search.

They would also like to speak to the occupants of a blue Volkswagen Golf seen parked in Broadview Avenue at around the time the burglary was committed.

Residents with CCTV and motorists with dashcam are also asked to check for footage that may assist the investigation.
