POLICE are appealing for information after a house was burgled twice in the space of 15 days.

Thieves first broke into the home in Danbury Road, Loughton, sometime between 11.30am and 5.45pm on Thursday October 4.

They got in through a back door and stole watches and jewellery valued together at a five-figure sum.

And then on Friday October 19 burglars struck again at around 7.15pm.

They made off with computer equipment worth a four-figure sum.

A Spokesman for Essex Police said: "Anyone with information about either incident should contact DS Patrick Mullan at Harlow Target Team on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111".
