Scotland Yard is appealing for information following a jewellery heist in Bromley last December, when £500,000-worth of gold was stolen from a house on Bickley Road.
The robbery took place on the evening of Monday, December 30, 2024. There have been no arrests.

CCTV footage shows three men forcing their entry into the home through a bathroom window. The owners were not at home at the time, as the burglars carried out the theft in 45 minutes, between 5.40pm and 6.25pm.
“Detectives are keen to trace the stolen property in the hope of returning it to the owners, and are asking the public to come forward if they recognise any of the pieces,” according to a statement from the Met Police.
The photographs of the stolen jewellery show it to be high-value, ornate, Indian-style gold necklaces and bracelets.
Detective Constable Jamie White, of the Met’s South Area Command Unit, said: “While the monetary value of this theft is enormous, the sentimental value is priceless – with many of the pieces being passed down through generations of the family.
“A number of the pieces stolen are unique, so we are hoping that releasing these photographs will jog someone’s memory.”
Anyone who has seen the items anywhere – or anyone who knows of people handling the goods – are asked to call the police via 101, quoting reference 01/1257889/24.
