CCTV has caputered two men stealing jewellery worth in the region of £20,000 – while both wore bright orange gloves.

Wiltshire Police said the high-value burglary took place at a property in Purton, near Swindon, at around midday on 29 July.

The men entered the address and stole a safe containing jewellery worth up to a staggering £20,000.

When leaving the property, the men were challenged by a neighbour. They claimed to be removal men before assaulting the neighbour and fleeing the scene.

They left in a white Astra van, which has the number plate VU57 ORL but is believed to change to cloned plates.

The van is distinctive as it has a poppy on the front grill and a roof rank and is believed to be involved in other burglaries in Surrey.

If you have any information regarding the men in the photos or the vehicle then please contact police on 101 quoting reference number 54220079797.
