Burglars steal TV from summerhouse
1:21pm Tuesday 9th February 2010
POLICE are reminding people to lock up their outbuildings after burglars crept into a summerhouse in Southend.
A key had been left in the lock of a building in Victoria Avenue so the crooks could easily let themselves in.
Once inside they stole a LG 32 ins flat screen television worth about £500.
The house backs onto Priory Park and police believe the burglars may have used this as their escape route.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious should contact PC Suzanne Hellier on 0300 333 4444.

Is Suzanne the only PC available? It would appear that if anyone has any information on all 3 of the Echo’s web page headlines relating to crime today, Tuesday they should telephone her.
I hope she is on call!
