A Leeton jewellery store is counting the cost of a break and enter weeks out from Christmas

The store in Pine Avenue was broken into by an unknown thief around 4.15am on Monday, December 5.

Police allege one offender used a hammer to smash the front window of the business to gain access to the store.

It is believed a number of items were stolen as a result before the offender made their escape.

Leeton police Inspector Justin Cornes said investigations into the break and enter were ongoing.
