TEENAGE burglars made off with designer watches and more than £10,000 following a raid on a home in Clacton.

Two teenagers were spotted being dropped off by a small black Ford car in Horley Close before jumping over the back wall of a property.

The crooks then forced their way into the house before taking a five-figure sum of cash and two Michael Kors watches.

The pair then made off in the direction of Epsom Close.

Det Con Robert Dines, from Clacton CID, said: “We are looking to speak to anyone who may have seen this burglary take place or who may have seen the young men described leaving the scene.

“Additionally, if you have been offered a silver or gold Michael Kors watch in the past few weeks, then please get in touch.”
