Police are appealing for witnesses after burglars broke into a house and made off with a large TV.

The suspects smashed the glass rear patio door to enter the house in Chequers Road, Loughton between 6pm and 7pm on February 18. 

They removed the 46-inch flat screen television that was hanging on the living room wall before escaping.

The black Samsung UE46C5100 LED television was worth about £600 and £200 of damage was caused to the patio door.

Anyone with information is asked to call Essex Police on 101.
