Thieves stole a games console and jewellery from a Braintree house.
Some £330 worth of goods, including a £100 necklace, a £50 bracelet, and earrings, were taken from a house in Mountbatten Road last Wednesday.
A Nintendo Wii, worth £150, was also stolen.
The thieves smashed their way into the house by breaking a glass panel in the front door.
