More than £1,000 has been stolen from a company in Cooper Drive, Braintree.

Thieves gained access to car parts company Motorparts Direct in the Springwood Industrial estate, taking £1,000 cash and several cheques.

The cheques were later recovered in the grounds of nearby Tabor Science College but the cash has not been found.

Someone also tried to break into JDP manufacturing in Springwood Drive on the same night but failed to gain access.
