Police appeal after masked burglars break into Balsall Heath house and steal jewellery

West Midlands Police have released images of individuals wanted in connection with a house break-in and burglary in Balsall Heath.

Do you recognise anyone from this group? Officers want to speak to them following a burglary in Mary Street in the Balsall Heath area of Birmingham on the evening of Tuesday 23 April.

It is believed five masked people jumped over the back fence of the garden and forced entry into the house.

They searched the property before stealing bank cards and electrical devices, as well as sentimental items of jewellery.

Minutes later, the stolen bank cards were used to fuel a car used by the offenders in a nearby petrol station. The car was later recovered on false plates and was forensically examined.

Extensive CCTV enquiries, forensics and phone examination resulted in the arrest of an 18-year-old man and following further investigations he was released without charge.

Detectives are now appealing for your help to identify these people.
