The police helicopter circled parts of Witham hunting for a burglar who had stolen thousands of pounds.
The police were called to Maltings Lane yesterday just before 3pm after reports of a burglary in which a laptop, cash and jewellery had been taken.
Officers on the ground searched for the thief, who was believed to still be in the area, but no one was arrested.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0300 3334444 or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
