Elderly residents in Chelmsford are being warned to make sure their homes are secure through the summer months.

The warning comes from Chelmsford police after a spate of five burglaries this week on homes owned by elderly people in the Chelmsford area.

Jewellery worth £2,000 was taken from a self contained flat in Chelmsford's Queens Street.
