Burglars raided a Canvey pub, locked the landlord in his office and stole a sum of cash running into four figures.
The two raiders broke into the King Canute, in Canvey Road, after closing time last night, police said.
The landlord managed to escape from his office this morning and called in the police.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "We were contacted at 9am today by the landlord."
