"Most of the jewellery was from my parents, some was from my husband, so it had sentimental value," she said. Mrs Syed added:"Even if I had money, I would be scared to buy gold again and scared to keep it at home." Officers tracked groups of criminals who were working across the North West, into north Wales and the Midlands.But Aaron Duggan, head of crime at Cheshire Police, said one of the challenges they face is that gold can be disposed of easily.
