DO you know these men? Police want to identify this pair after copper was stolen from flats in Billericay.

At around 5.30pm on Saturday, August 14, suspects tried to get into a residential block in The Spinney, but were refused by a resident because they didn't have ID.

Access was then gained to a communal area and copper piping worth a five-figure sum was taken.

Police have now issued an appeal over the theft, and want anyone who recognises the men captured on CCTV to get in touch.

Anyone with information should call investigating officer PC David Arnold at Wickford police station on 0300 333 4444 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
