Seven homes in Maidenhead, Cookham and Slough were broken into over two evenings last weekend, and police say the burglars were after high-value jewellery. Four of the homes were in Maidenhead and one in Cookham.

Thames Valley Police published its appeal for witnesses on Sunday 8 November. No arrests had been made, the force said.

What the police are doing

The case is with the Slough Priority Crime Team. Detective Constable Lauren Rose said officers were treating it as a priority.

She said residents may see more police in Slough, Cookham and Maidenhead while the investigation goes on, and asked anyone with concerns to speak to officers.

Officers are checking CCTV. They want to hear from witnesses and from anyone who drove through the area with a dash cam running.
