Halstead: Man charged over burglaries

Detectives from Braintree CID have secured charges against a man in connection with a number of burglaries in Halstead.

We received a call at around 5.20pm on 9 May that an elderly resident had found a man inside their address in Chapel Street.

Officers responded, while we also received similar calls from people living in the Kings Road and Beridge Road areas.

A search was carried in the area and an hour after the initial call a man was arrested.

Thomas Corcoran, 34, of Colne Valley Close, Halstead has now been charged with three counts of burglary and appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday 11 May).

He is next due to appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on 8 June.
