A hole in the roof gang broke into a Canvey firm and made off with a £134,000 haul.

The burglars entered the warehouse belonging to the Games and Prints Services in Sandhurst through the roof.

They then used a forklift truck in the building to remove the goods out through the roof.

Police believe four pallets worth of printed materials were stolen late on Sunday or early yesterday (Monday).

Chief inspector Steve Bottrill of Rayleigh police said: "We believe a white Transit was involved. Anyone with any information should contact us on 01268 775533."
