Police were today hunting two gunmen who raided a McDonald's restaurant at the Orsett Cock roundabout on the A13.
At around midnight the men, wearing overalls and monkey masks, approached a member of staff at the back of the fast food eatery and demanded cash from the till.
The men are thought to have escaped over wasteland, near the old A13, with a small sum of money.
There were no customers in the restaurant at the time and nobody was injured in the raid.
If you have any information call Tilbury police on 01375 851212 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
