POLICE were called to a home after burglars stuck and stole precious items of silver.

The incident happened at a property in Union Lane, Ulverston, at some point between 9am on March 20 and 11am on March 24.

A lock was smashed on a back door and a number of silver items, including spoons and napkin rings, were stolen.

Police and scene of crime investigators were outside the house last Friday, as local residents were asked for information.

Anybody who can help is asked to contact police on 101.
