TWO shops have been targeted by burglars in Witham.

A burglar smashed a front window to a shop in Newland Street and a cash box was damaged but no money was taken.

It happened at about 1.37am on August 22.

Just a few minutes before a burglar had smashed the glass on the front door of another shop using a traffic cone.

Once inside they ransacked the till area and stole money from the till.

Anyone with information should contact Braintree Police on 101.
