Brazen burglars parked on a house’s driveway and broke in through the front door during the middle of the day.

The criminals targeted the property in Manor Road, Chigwell, between 11.18am and 11.33am on Tuesday (April 26).

After stopping their dark coloured Volvo on the victim’s drive, the raiders forced their way through a pane of glass in the front door.

They then took items from inside before leaving.

It is not known how many criminals took part, and Essex Police have not released what was stolen.

If you have any information about the burglary, phone Essex Police on 101, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
