Homeowners with UPVC doors are being warned to ensure they lock their doors completely, to avoid thieves entering.
Police were called to an attempted burglary last Wednesday.
Thieves entered a house on Wantz Road, Maldon by popping the lock on a UPVC door.
Nothing was taken from the house but the door was opened.
Police said: “It’s not enough if you just put the door handle up, it’s not sufficient to lock the door.
“Homeowners need to use keys to lock their doors as well.”
