A group of mini burglars overran Southminster Library for a Burglar Bill themed event.
The event, on February 20, was for primary school children and their parents.
Children made burglar masks, hunted for stolen property and tried on police uniforms.
They then moved next door to Southminster Police Station where they tried out handcuffs and had their fingerprints taken.
