POLICE are attempting to find brazen burglars who broke into a property in Brightlingsea in broad daylight.
Officers are appealing for information after jewellery and laptops were taken from a home in Spring Road.
The burglary took place between 7.10am and 3.15pm on Wednesday, July 4.
They smashed their way in through the rear patio door.
One of the laptops is very distinctive as it has a pattern on the front of a Chinese dragon and a ying yang symbol.
PC Amanda Beck said: "It is believed the thieves may have left the property via the front door carrying a large black holdall.
“If you were in the area at the times mentioned and saw any suspicious activity, please contact us.”
Call PC Beck at Colchester police on 101 with any information.
