The break-in happened sometime between 1pm and 3.40pm on Tuesday, May 27.

- Such items are ideally kept in a good quality safe or in safety deposit boxes at banks.

Dc Owain Morrison said: “Being a victim of a burglary is a traumatic experience and therefore reducing and detecting these offences is a priority for South Wales Police.
“Please don’t keep items in the top drawer of a chest of drawers, under the bed or in the back of the wardrobe, this is generally the first place offenders will look.
“As always we remind people to make sure all windows and doors are locked including gates leading to rear gardens.”
