Rowley’s, a jewellers in Penarth, South Wales, has expressed their devastation at the realisation that thieves targeted their store for the second time in a month.

The owner of the store, Petra Barberini said:

“It’s hard to survive for any retail business these days but incidents like this knock the stuffing out of you. We try to put a brave face on but it’s devastating…

“We have to keep things in perspective. Nobody has been hurt and when you see the tragedies around the world it pales into insignificance. As a family, we try to battle on as best we can and get business running as normally as possible.”

The store made headlines in 2014 when they were specially selected to supply replicas of the golden ring that the newly appointed Twelfth incarnation of the Doctor, Peter Capaldi wore in his first series in the role. The store created an exact copy of the gold double-banded piece, that also has a green amber stone on the ring.

Luckily for the store and its owner, this time around the thieves were not able to get into the main store (which was the case when it was first burgled last month), the only damage to the store being a shattered front window with the pesky thieves then proceeding to take five display watches. The specially made Doctor Who ring was not a victim of the crimes committed on the store and can still be purchased in store right now.

South Wales Police have confirmed that an investigation into the break-in is underway.
