A village has been the victim of a run of unusual thefts.

Over the last six weeks, roughly 30 pints of milk have gone missing from doorsteps in Sible Hedingham.

Milkman Andy Woods, from Tiptree-based Andy Woods Dairies, a franchise of Dairy Crest, said: “There were three roads targetted all near to each other - Brook Meadow, Oxford Meadow and Greysmead.

“I would leave the milk on the doorsteps for people and someone would just take it.

“It has been happening for a few weeks."
