JEWELLERY and cash valued up to $100,000 was stolen from a Carrum house, Monday (14 November).
Police said the offenders may have jumped a fence to enter the backyard of the Kemp St property and then used a jemmy to force open rear sliding doors.
Once inside they ransacked the main bedroom stealing jewellery and a jewellery box from a walk-in wardrobe. The haul included wedding and engagement rings and watches.
The offenders searched upstairs bedrooms before stealing cash from a study in the daytime raid.
A witness said she saw a man with white hair and speaking in “a Dutch accent” in the driveway.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
