An opprotunist thief took advantage of the hot weekend weather to steal a handbag from inside a Witham house.
The thief entered the house in Highfields Road through an unlocked side door between 3.30pm and 5pm on Saturday.
The black leather bag containing keys, a pension book and four pounds was stolen form the kitchen.
The woman occupant was hanging wallpaper elsewhere in the house and a visiting relative was in the garden.
Anyone with information on the burglary should contact Witham CID on 01376 501212.
