TWO determined burglars were disturbed as they attempted to break into a property in Ingatestone.
But police think the duo fled undeterred and made for Billericay where they attempted to break into THREE more homes there.
At 11.28am on Thursday, October 9, the two men removed the window of a property in Pine Drive, Ingatestone.
They fled empty handed - possibly in a dark coloured Saab - after being disturbed.
One of the men was about 5ft 6in tall, had short light brown hair and was wearing a grey tracksuit. The second man was slightly taller and was wearing a dark-coloured tracksuit.
The second incident was reported at 1.15pm at Frithwood Close, Billericay, where intruders forced the front door and took a quantity of jewellery while the occupant was out for the morning.
Burglaries at Fairfield Rise and Ian Road, Billericay were also discovered when the occupants returned home in the evening, but both were believed to have occurred during the day. Jewellery and other items were taken.
Police are appealing for information on the burglaries.
Anyone who can help should contact officers at Billericay on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
