BURGLARS smashed their way into a home in Holland-on-Sea before making off with a haul of goods.

The crooks forced open a ground floor window at the back of a chalet bungalow in Kings Parade.

Items stolen included a Napoleon Hat clock, value at £250, as well as a remote-control Tamya toy car and a radio-controlled toy Chinook helicopter.

A Philips portable television, DVD player, electric guitar and amplifier were also taken.

The incident happened some time after November 5.

Anyone with information about the incident, or who is offered the items for sale, is asked to call Det Con Linda Whiting, at Clacton CID, on 101.
