from a Devonshire couple.

Among the haul was a 24-carat gold, diamond-studded engagement ring.

The thieves smashed a hole in the front glass door to break into the property in Orange Valley Road.

They then rifled the bedroom, where they found the jewellery.

The haul included two 18-inch 22-carat gold necklaces, one with a cross pendant, a 14-carat lady's ring with two yellow stones, and a 16-inch 14-carat round pendant.

There were also two 22-carat gold rings with white stones, a gold broach with black stones, gold cufflinks, a watch, and a 22-carat gold bracelet with a rope chain.

In addition, there were two other bracelets -- a silver charm, and another of gold with a heart shaped pendant.

Police have declined to reveal the exact value of the haul.

The daylight raiders struck over the weekend while the occupiers were out.

A FIFA referee who officiated in Bermuda's World Cup clash with El Salvador on Sunday flew off the Island yesterday several dollars poorer after thieves stole cash from his room at Sonesta Beach Hotel.
