Police have launched an appeal following a robbery at a Tesco Express store.

The incident took place in Theydon Bois on Coppice Row at around 10.50pm on June 16.

A man and woman were reported to have entered the store and attempted to leave with stolen alcohol.

Staff locked the doors to stop them from leaving, but the man forced his way out. The pair then fled the scene.

Essex Police said the total cost of the stolen items and damage is estimated to be more than £1,000. In response officers have now released a CCTV image of the two suspects and are asking for the public’s help in identifying them.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: "If you have any information, please contact us quoting investigation number 42/93970/26."

Reports can be made through the force’s website, via the 24-hour Live Chat service, or by calling 101.
