An investigation has been launched following a spate of burglaries in Conwy.
A total of five incidents understood to have taken place during the evening of Saturday, 27 December, have been reported across rural areas of Llanrwst, Denbigh and Abergele.
The first burglary is believed to have happened in the area of Gwytherin, Llanrwst, before the second took place in Llansannan, Denbigh.
Another three properties were then targeted in Abergele in the areas of Llanfair TH, Minafon and Gwelfor.
The offenders are reported to have broken into the properties by smashing a window, while it is understood a door was left unlocked on another.
A quantity of gold jewellery is reported to have been stolen from one of the properties in Abergele.
Detective Inspector Kris Williams said: “We recognise how invasive and traumatic it is to be a victim of burglary and a team of detectives are currently carrying out extensive enquiries into the incidents and to identify the suspects.
“I am appealing to anyone with information or any CCTV footage of suspicious behaviour in these areas on 27 December to contact officers.
“I am also asking residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious vans, cars, or individuals in your vicinity, and to keep an eye out for vulnerable neighbours.
“I would also encourage people to visit the North Wales Police website, which offers valuable information and advice on how to keep properties and valuables secure: Protecting your home from crime | Crime prevention | North Wales Police
