A REDDITCH woman is distraught after a precious family heirloom was stolen from her home.

The 18-carat rose gold bracelet with a hallmark on each link was originally a watch chain belonging to the woman's grandfather.

It is eight inches long and 5mm wide and quite heavy. The clasp is a small yellow metal padlock which hangs down.

The woman, from Edgworth Close, in Church Hill North, is offering a £100 reward for its safe return.
