Burglars ransacked a flat and stole a tablet worth £150.

The suspects forced open a back window of the property in Maltings Court, Witham, and put the security chain on the front door to prevent them being disturbed.

The incident happened between February 13 and 14.

A Samsung Galaxy Note tablet was the only item reported stolen.
