A netballer has lost several medals after her home was burgled.

Waikato Silver Fern Laura Langman lost her gold Commonwealth Games and silver World Netball Championship medals in the break-in. Police say an abundance of other items were taken, including jewellery, sports gear and a lap top computer. They do not believe the medals were specifically targeted.

Senior Sergeant Tim Anderson is hoping the high level of public revulsion shown over the recent theft of the military medals from the Army Museum at Waiouru will be mirrored in this case and pressure applied for their return.
