Thieves filled up their cars with fuel then made off without paying in separate incidents.

Both incidents happened at the Morrisons store, Centenary Way, Little Clacton.

On Monday at 3.15pm, the driver of a blue Peugeot filled up the vehicle before the passenger got out and went into the shop. The driver then pulled off from the pump and drove into a parking space.

Then without paying, the passenger ran out of the shop and got into the car, which made off.

On Saturday at 12.30pm, a driver made off in a red Ford Fiesta without paying for £33.36 worth of fuel.
