POLICE in Burnley want people's help in tracing two women who stole jewellery valued at £1,200 from an 80-year-old woman's home.

The victim answered the door at her home in Pheasantford Green, Duke Bar, at 7pm on Friday and, after a conversation, let the women in.

One of them went into a bedroom and stole jewellery, including a lady's Longines silver watch with oval face and black Roman numerals valued at £500, a lady's gold Rotary watch with gold bracelet and white round face, valued at £300, a gold dress ring with amethyst and two diamonds valued at £150 and a gold solitaire diamond ring worth £200.

Both women were white, aged 25-6, about 5ft 3in and slim. One had brown, collar-length wavy hair and wore a dark three-quarter-length coat and had a local accent.

The other had a pale face and short, brown hair. She was wearing a dark blue fleece.
