A ROLEX watch was among the items stolen in a burglary in Bournemouth.

Dorset Police launched an 'extensive search' after two men were spotted leaving the address in Carrbridge Road on Sunday afternoon.

The burglars climbed over a garden wall before smashing their way into the home via a backdoor.

A Fitbit Alta watch, a green leather jewellery box and some pearls were also stolen during the break-in.

The burglary took place around 2.15pm on Sunday, April 18.

Constable Calum Maton, of Bournemouth police, said: “I understand there were a number of people in the area at the time and I am appealing to anyone who witnessed what happened to please get in touch.

“I would urge residents to please check their home CCTV systems and motorists who were in the area to look on their dash-cams for any relevant footage to assist my enquiries.”

The two men seen leaving the address got into a blue car that was parked nearby.

This car is described as either a Peugeot or a Citroen C3.
