A 54-year-old woman reported $950 worth of jewelry stolen Tuesday from her home in northern Evanston.

The Evanston resident reported that some time between leaving her house in the 3300 block of Grant Street at 8 a.m. and returning at 5:15 p.m., someone entered through the west side door, which may have been unlocked at the time of the incident, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.

She reported that the burglar found a jewelry box in her bedroom and took five gold necklaces, a silver bracelet, a silver ring and a pearl necklace, Dugan said.

There was no other damage to the house, and there are currently no suspects.
