The victim said: “The sentimental value means far more to us than the price tag.

“Some of the items were mementos from holidays with our children, others were heirlooms – handed down from family members who are no longer with us.”

An investigation has been launched following the incident, with additional police patrols in the area.

Anyone who recognises the items pictured, or who may have been offered similar items for sale, is urged to contact Cambridgeshire police by calling 101 quoting crime reference 35/56565/20.
