Police are appealing for witnesses after a spate of burglaries saw the thefts of items worth thousands of pounds.

In the last of three burglaries around Harlow, thieves smashed the patio doors at a home in Tysea Close on February 1 before escaping with cash and jewellery.

Witnesses described seeing two white men near another burglary in Alexandra Road.

One was tall wearing Caterpillar style work boots and had a thick beard, the shorter man walked with a distinctive sway.

Any witnesses should contact Pc Jo Snell at Harlow CID on 101.
