A pair of "brazen" burglars broke into two flats in Chelsea in the middle of the day, stealing more than £20,000 worth of property - including Christmas presents - from one, leaving the victims "traumatised".

While thieves broke into one of the flats in Stadium Street and took nothing, they stole £20,000 worth of jewellery, cash, cards and Christmas presents from another.

The burglaries - which took place between 1pm and 5.45pm on December 4 - saw both properties have their doors kicked.

One man is described as black, over 6ft 6inches tall, of a slim build and at the time of the burglary was wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, black gloves and grey trainers with white soles.

The second man is described as black, approximately 5ft 7inches tall with short afro hair, and was wearing a black jacket with a grey hoodie underneath, black jeans and white trainers.

The two suspects left the scene in a light brown vehicle.

Police described the burglars as "brazen" and said the burglary had left the victims "traumatised and upset".

Donald Trump has decided he will not attend the opening of the new £734 million US embassy in London, saying it has been built in an "off location".

The US president also blamed his predecessor, Barack Obama, and his administration for selling the previous one for "peanuts".

But many believe Mr Trump was fearful of protests planned for his visit to the UK.

There has also been a cooling off of US-UK relations, with Prime Minister Theresa May repeatedly clashing with Mr Trump.

Mrs May and Mr Trump fell out in November over his retweeting of anti-Muslim videos posted online by the deputy leader of the far-right Britain First group.
