Balaclava-wearing gang break into house in Derbyshire town – as police appeal to trace stolen items

Just after 8.00pm on Thursday, January 26, Derbyshire Police received a report of a break-in at a house on Caldey Road, Dronfield.

Four men wearing balaclavas and dark clothing were seen leaving the property. A family member suffered a minor injury when the men started throwing objects at his car while he watched them, before the men then fled the scene in a waiting vehicle.

Officers have been investigating several lines of enquiry and are now asking for help in trying to trace a gold ring with three stones, along with a small jewellery box, believed to have been taken during the burglary.
