ORNAMENTAL Royal Doulton trinket boxes were among items stolen from a property in Christchurch last week.

The two china boxes were taken from a property in Old Barn Road along with what police described as an “old-style briefcase”, during a burglary which occurred at some point between 5.15pm on Wednesday, November 5, and 12.45pm on Friday, November 7.
