Victims can view the online property gallery – or to see the items in person.
An event is taking place at Edington Village Hall at Quarry Ground, Lippets Way on Friday, February 14 between 2pm and 8pm and Saturday, February 15 from 9am to 2pm.
You’ll need to be able to prove your ownership to claim property.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “Since its launch in December our online property gallery has been updated with almost 200 images of items ranging from power tools to pictures and jewellery to stamp collections.
“New items have been added today and we’ll continue to update it.”
Detective Sergeant Paul Cobb said: “Our investigation has identified burglaries of homes and outbuildings in mostly rural communities, around towns like Bridgwater, Frome, Glastonbury, Taunton, Somerton and Yeovil as well as into the Blackdown Hills area of Devon, north of Honiton.
“We’re offering this opportunity for people to view the items in person because it’s so important for our investigation that we find the rightful owners of this property.
“If you’re unable to come along, please do keep checking our online gallery as we continue to add more items.”
Three men have been charged in connection with multiple burglaries as part of the investigation. They are remanded in custody while court proceedings are underway.
Those that spot their property in the gallery can claim it using the online form.
