A burglar has stolen cash from Clacton Leisure Centre after a raid early this morning.

The suspect smashed a fire exit door window at the Valence Way site at 3.45am to gain entry.

The burglar then used a crowbar to get into a vending machine and stole a small amount of money.

Tendring District Council, which runs the centre, wants anyone with information to call the police on 101 or the leisure centre itself on 01255 686688.
