PEOPLE are being warned to keep their homes secure following a number of burglaries in the Castle Park area and Tiptree.
Burglars forced open doors to steal jewellery, cash and electrical goods in a number of houses in March.
Insp Barry Atkinson urged householders to store their valuables securely and to keep a note of serial numbers of any electrical goods.
"Always lock windows and doors when you are not at home, look in to having an alarm system installed, and do not leave valuables on view. Make it as hard as possible for burglars to break in to your home."
Anyone wanting more information can contact their local neighbourhood policing team on 101 or visit www.essex.police.uk/burglary
