Detective Inspector Gayle Hart said: “This case has involved multiple lines of enquiry and we’re continuing to work hard on the case to secure justice for the victims.

“The stolen property hasn’t been recovered and we still want to hear from anyone who knows where the items might be. We also want to hear from anyone who has any information about a silver Audi RS5 Quattro, registration number KY61 USJ, which we believe was involved in the burglary.

“It was stolen from the Phoenix Park Park and Ride tram stop, Millennium Way East, Cinderhill, Nottingham, on Friday November 2 2018. It was found abandoned and burnt out in Cross Lane, Blidworth, about half-an-hour after the burglary on Tuesday 20 November 2018.

“Did you see this car in the area around the time of the burglary or have dash-cam footage of it? Did you see anyone in the car?
