In a second burglary, at Merton Place in Littlebury between 08:00- 08:15 on Monday 12^th April, a property was entered via an insecure rear door whilst the aggrieved was walking her dog.  A tidy search was conducted and a handbag and its contents were stolen from within.

Ashdon, Carters Croft – burglary, Monday 12^th April

An address at Carters Croft was burgled when the front door was forced open, using a jemmy or similar, at some point between 1.30pm and 3.15pm.  A messy search was made and cash and jewellery stolen.

Wendens Ambo burglary – Monday 12^th April

An Irish sounding male called upon a householder to enquire whether his car was for sale.  Whilst the caller was talking to the householder, a second offender is thought to have entered the property from the rear and stolen items from within.

2 burglaries at Whiteshot Way, Saffron Walden Monday 12^th April

Whilst the owner was working in the greenhouse in the back garden of their property, offender(s) entered a house and took cash and documents at between 3.15 – 3.30pm.

The house next door was also burgled at the same time.  Neighbours saw two Eastern European looking males walking around the rear of the properties on a footpath at around the same time.  One was wearing a white shirt with pinstripes and the other a dark suit.  It is possible that the one in a shirt carried a light coloured hooded sweatshirt since a further witness saw a similar looking man in a pale hooded top.  If you saw anybody matching these descriptions or witnessed anything suspicious at around these times in Whiteshot Way, please get in touch with us.

If you saw any suspicious or unusual activity around any of these locations or have any information which you think might be of help, please call Essex Police on 0300 333 4444.
