LAPTOPS belonging to two students have been stolen.
The break-in happened when thieves entered a house in Hickory Avenue, Greenstead, Colchester, through a set of patio doors.
A black laptop with a German keyboard and another laptop with a French keyboard as well as two televisions, an electric notebook and a pillowcase were taken.
Investigating Officer, Dc Claire Jennings, said: "The laptops belong to a couple of students who had years of study stored on them. The one with the French keyboard is password-protected so I doubt this will be of any value to anyone. Sadly, unlike her fellow housemate, its owner did not back up her studies and so is willing to offer a reward.
"This burglary was carried out during daylight hours on a Saturday and would have required some form of transport. We would urge people to cast their minds back to the start of the month and recall whether they mistook these thieves for house-movers and so thought nothing of them moving electrical equipment out of this house on the Greenstead Estate."
The break-in happened between 9am-9pm on Saturday, April 6.
Anyone with information in connection with this burglary is urged to contact detectives at Colchester police station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
