Jewellery was stolen and French doors were smashed open in two Theydon Bois burglaries.

Essex Police are appealing for information after the incidents, which happened on April 5 and April 11.

The first happened in Poplar Row between 11.50am and 3.50pm.

Burglars forced open a front door and stole jewellery from inside.

In nearby Theydon Park Road on April 11, criminals smashed French doors at the rear of a property but left when they were disturbed by a neighbour.

Two men were seen making off in a silver or grey vehicle.

Anyone with information about either of the burglaries should contact DC Amy Kavanagh at Loughton CID by phoning 101.
