A DISTRAUGHT woman is appealing for help in recovering a jewellery box taken from her home in a burglary.

The heart-shaped box is covered in red leather. It was given to Claire Nuttall by her late grandmother for her 21st birthday and so carries much sentimental value.

CDs, DVDs and a large quantity of jewellery were also taken in burglary at her home in Pine Street, Bury, on January 9.

Anyone with information regarding the jewellery box can contact Mrs Nuttall on 07913 962665.
