A porter was knocked unconscious by robbers who raided the tills of a hotel in the early hours of today.
Two men called at the Red Lion, in Colchester High Street, just after 2.30am today and were let in after telling the porter they were guests. They asked for a drink at the bar and, as the porter was serving them, he was hit on the back of the head and knocked unconscious.
When he came round, he discovered £200 was missing.
