Thieves made off with a pile of food from a Westcliff pub.

More than £270 of frozen food was stolen from the Cricketers pub in London Road.

The intruders are believed to have got in to the pub through an unsecured window and taken keys to a shed containing a deep freeze.

Police say a large quantity of meat was stolen during the burglary.

Anyone who is offered meat for sale or who has any information should contact Southend police on 01702 215102.
