Hunt for widow’s stolen wedding rings that may have been sold in Preston

A widow’s wedding rings were stolen during a burglary in Preston.

Lancashire Constabulary is appealing for information to try to trace the location of two stolen wedding rings with ‘incredibly sentimental’ value.

Officers believe that the treasured items may have been purchased from the Cash Converters store in Preston after 14 May.

A spokesperson for police said in an appeal: “Do you recognise these rings?

“Have you purchased them from Cash Converters in Preston sometime after 14th May?

“What you may not have known is that these two rings are wedding rings that were stolen during a burglary at a house in Preston and the owner would really like them back.

“The victim was married to her husband for 59 years before he passed away so you can imagine how incredibly sentimental these items are.

“If you bought either of these rings, we would ask that you consider getting in touch with us so that we can potentially reunite the victim with these treasured items.”
