Multiple pieces of jewelry were stolen from an Evanston home in the 1600 block of Cleveland Street on Saturday.

The two residents, ages 64 and 67, were doing yard work in their backyard from around 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. They believe the side door was unlocked. At around 5 p.m., the residents went into their home and saw a closet and bedroom had been ransacked, police Cmdr. Brian Henry said.

Pieces of jewelry with an unknown value were taken, and the front door was open, despite having been previously closed. The residents reported the incident to Evanston Police Department at 5:09 p.m., Henry said.

EPD does not have any suspects at this time.
