(jd) While the homeowners were busy in the garden, unknown persons managed to break into a house on Diebrocker Straße on Thursday (15.5.). At around 11.00 a.m., the owners went into the garden through their patio door and this short period of time was enough for the strangers to enter the house and ransack it in search of stolen goods. They took various pieces of jewelry, including a wedding ring and a diamond necklace. They then fled in an unknown direction. The Herford criminal investigation department has taken over the investigation and is asking any witnesses who can provide information about the incident to call 05221/8880.
