Robbers have stolen jewellery and toys after they were let into a Maldon flat.

Two men were allowed into the flat in Dryden Close yesterday between 5pm and 6pm.

The man who lived in the flat was threatened with violence by the men and it is believed they took a Playstation, a bracelet and a toy gun.

One man was described as black, around 5ft 2in and in his late teens.

The police helicopter was also deployed at the time.
