Thieves have struck for a second time at LaFarge Aggregates in Chelmsford, just over two weeks after the company was broken into for the first time.

The Roxwell Road company was burgled on April 14, when thieves smashed windows on eight machines, taking the radios worth £800, from them and also caused £5,000 worth of damage.

On the evening of March 26, thieves had also broken into the plant and smashed windows on five of the machines, causing £2,000 worth of damage, and stole three flashing lights and a reversing camera worth £780.

Motorbike tracks were found at the site after the first burglary and police believe the same people are responsible for both break-ins.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Chelmsford Police on 01245 491212.
