Avon and Somerset Police have added more images to their online gallery of seized property.

The move comes following successful in-person viewings in Edington, near Bridgwater, last month.

More than 400 items were seized as part of an investigation into burglaries targeting homes and outbuildings across Somerset and the Blackdown Hills area of Devon, north of Honiton.

While some burglary victims have been traced, the volume of recovered items led to the creation of an online gallery in December 2024 to assist in reuniting people with their belongings.

Since its launch, items including paintings, silverware, tools, jewellery, and decorative objects have been returned to their rightful owners. The gallery was updated again this week with additional items, including jewellery, cutlery, collectibles, china, and ornaments.

Detective Sergeant Charlie Pulling, one of the lead investigators, recently appeared on BBC’s Crimewatch Live to discuss the case.

Victims who recognise their stolen property can claim their items via a form on the website, with proof of ownership required.

Three men have been charged in connection with multiple burglaries as part of the investigation and are remanded in custody while court proceedings are underway.

The seized property can be viewed in the dedicated online gallery, which includes a link to the online claim form. Investigating detectives can also be contacted via email for further information.
