Police have released CCTV images as part of an investigation into a hotel burglary in Colchester.

Thieves broke into the hotel in High Street shortly after 5pm Saturday, June 12.

They made their way into an office inside and stole a safe containing a "large" sum of cash.

A spokesman for Essex Police said the men pictured may be able to help with the force's investigation.

The first is described as a white man, who wore a navy Superdry hoodie with orange and grey writing on the front, grey tracksuit bottoms, black boots and a red hat. He also wore a white facemask.

The second man is also white, bald and around 5ft 10in tall. He was wearing a navy tracksuit with white markings and grey and black trainers.

It is believed the men were seen walking in the direction of Maidenborough Street shortly after the burglary occurred.
