Skinhead ram-raiders smashed their way into a chemist shop - and stole vitamin pills.
The smash-and-grab raid happened just after midnight when the pair drove a red Ford Escort through the front window of Pal Chemists, in High Street, Canvey.
Moments later, the two men jumped out of the car and stole an unknown quantity of cash from the shop's till and a variety of vitamin pills.
An eye witness saw them both get back into the car and speed away, leaving chemist bosses with a damage bill worth hundreds of pounds.
Anyone with information should call Canvey police on 01268 511212.
