Marriage proposal thwarted after raiders make off with high-value engagement ring in Bath

Raiders escaped with a high-value engagement ring in a Gucci holdall from a flat in Bath - thwarting one man's marriage proposal.

The ring belonged to a 29-year-old man visiting from Thailand, who'd planned to propose to his girlfriend during the trip.

Police have released CCTV footage to try and track down the suspects.

Footage shows two men who police want to identify in connection with the theft.

They entered a holiday let in New King Street at about 3:20pm on Monday December 9.

The ring was in a brown box, along with a Gucci scarf, men’s brogue shoes, wireless headphones and a passport.

They believe the high-value ring and the other items were carried out of the property in the victim's Gucci holdall.
