Officers have released a list of items confiscated in the raid in the hope they may be recognised by their owners.

Det. Insp. Stuart Dixon said: “If someone recognises an item they believe to be theirs, they should get in touch with us and we will seek proof it is theirs before it is returned.

“It is a good idea for people who have valuable items in their homes to take photos of them so if they are unfortunately stolen, but then recovered, officers have a way of identifying the rightful owner.”
