A burglary victim is asking people to help him trace more than £46,000 of jewellery stolen from his home.

Baljit Singh, 36, returned to his house in Thurmaston to find thieves had forced open the back door and ransacked the property.

The robbers also took £20,000 in cash, electrical goods and passports.

Mr Singh said: "I'm sure we were being watched and they knew when we were out.

"It's scary to think that someone is watching your family."

The family discovered the burglary when they returned from their temple at 10pm on November 13.

Mr Singh said he, his wife and their children – aged 11 and eight – no longer feel safe in their home.

A police spokeswoman said between October and December there were 87 burglaries involving gold jewellery and Asian victims. There were 86 in the same period last year.

She said: "Officers carried out extra patrols, delivered nearly 10,000 leaflets on home security and held a number of events with other agencies offering advice. It is encouraging that this helped prevent a large increase in burglaries and that residents carried out extra measures to keep their properties secure."

Anyone who can help should call police on 101.
