DETECTIVES in Bournemouth are renewing their appeal for witnesses and information after a burglary at an address in the Wallisdown area.
The incident happened between 11am and 1.45pm on Friday June 7 at an address in Walliscott Road.
The offenders forced entry through a window and stole watches and war medals.
The stolen items consisted of seven WW2 medals including stars, one MBE and a Good Conduct and Long Service medal.
Detective Constable Martin Farrington, of Bournemouth CID, said: “Following extensive enquiries, I am now able to release a photo of some miniature replicas of the medals that have been stolen.
“The missing medals are of particular sentimental value to the victim as they represent his grandfather's efforts and achievements during WW2 and his military career.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Dorset Police on 101 or the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
