PC Jim Card, of Yeovil Police, said: “The items taken are not of great financial value but are of great sentimental value to the family. They would love to get them back.

“Being burgled is traumatic and unsettling for victims, their family and neighbours. For many, the emotional impact lasts much longer than the time it takes to tidy up and replace belongings and when they are sentimental items as they are in this case, sometimes that’s not always possible.”
