A couple have told of their fury after thieves made off with 11 of their treasured flower pots.

Norman and Margaret Denham were stunned when they opened their front door to find their plant pots had disappeared.

Mrs Denham, of East Crescent, Canvey, said: "It is very upsetting.

"It is not really the cost of the plant pots that has annoyed us but my husband put so much hard work into cultivating the flowers. The plants were really beautiful and the whole garden looked lovely.

"It is terrible to think someone could do this."

Anyone with information should call police on 01268 511212.
