POLICE believe burglars who stole a safe, cash and passports from a Roxwell home are connected to the culprits behind a Pleshey burglary on the same day.
E-fits of the suspects have been released after thieves forced open a bungalow back door in Vicarage Road, where they were earlier spotted, between 8.30am and 11.15am on Friday, May 17.
Between 10.15am and 1.15pm, thieves also broke through a downstairs bathroom on Pleshey road, taking jewellery, cash and a uniquely designed mug.
The men are described as white and between 19 and 22 years old. One has dark brown hair and "sticking out" ears and was wearing light grey tracksuit bottoms with a light grey long sleeved top. The other man has ginger hair, pale skin and was also wearing a light grey long sleeved top and grey tracksuit bottoms.
Anyone with any information should contact Chelmsford CID on Essex Police 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
