A Lincoln Continental stretch limo was stripped of its badges while parked in Tollesbury.

Maldon police say they are investigating a spate of thefts of car badges and want to hear from anyone in Tollesbury or elsewhere who has lost theirs.

The limo was targeted by badge thieves in Darnet Road.

Others who had lost badges may not have bothered to report the theft, said Maldon crime reduction officer Ray Stannard.

Anyone with information should call PC Eddie Edwards on 01621 852255.
