Clacton: Appeal for witnesses after aggravated burglary

Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses after an aggravated burglary in Clacton.

We were called shortly after 7.40am on Friday 25 August, reporting four suspects had forced their way into an address in Burrs Road, Clacton.

Once inside, two occupants of the address, a male and a female, were assaulted.

The suspects made off in a white Ford Transit van, which was subsequently discovered abandoned in a field by School Road, Tendring, later that day.
