Reward offered for information on violent Kent jewellery theft

We are offering up to £10,000 for information we receive that leads to the conviction of those responsible for a violent burglary at a property in Sevenoaks, Kent. 

The crime will be featured on the BBC’s Crimewatch Live programme on 18 March 2025. The programme starts at 10.45 am. 

The burglary took place on Friday 21 June 2024 at around 3.55 pm. During the burglary a woman was hit with a weapon. At least 50 high value pieces of jewellery and watches were stolen, worth an estimated £1.4 million.

CCTV images show a potential suspect travelling by train between Staplehurst and Sevenoaks on the morning of the attack. After the burglary, he was seen on trains between Hildenborough, Tonbridge and Marden, finally cycling in Staplehurst shortly after 6.00 pm. 

The man in the image should not be approached. Whilst he could have connections with the Staplehurst area, he may live outside of Kent. 

***We are supporting this investigation by offering up to £10,000 for information our charity exclusively receives - via our online form or by calling 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of those responsible. The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on 18 June 2025***
 

“This was a shocking and violent burglary and those involved could strike again. There will be people who know what happened and who did it, but they might be unwilling to tell the police.

“We are an independent charity separate to the police and we guarantee you will stay 100% anonymous. You won’t be asked to go to the police, go to court or make a witness statement. Just contact us and tell us what you know. By talking to us, anonymously,  you can help prevent whoever did this from attacking again and can help keep the community safe.”

Phil Breckon, Crimestoppers Regional Manager for Kent
