Callous thieves ransacked a house in the Castlereagh area of east Belfast over Christmas.
The house in the Mount Michael Park was burgled sometime between Boxing Day (Thursday 26 December) and Tuesday 7 January.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses following the incident.
Detective Constable Martin said the occupants returned home to find the property had been ransacked, with several items smashed.
“This is a busy residential area, and I am appealing to anyone who noticed any suspicious activity to contact detectives at Lisburn on 101, quoting reference number 1226 of 07/01/20.
“Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime,” he added.
