BURGLARS made off with up to �35,000 after a major raid on an Essex home.
Jewellery, cash, a passport and a �10,000 cheque were stolen from a property in Coggeshall Road, Marks Tey.
Police said the raid happened between Wednesday, June 20 and the following evening.
Among the items taken was a �12,700 Rolex watch and a �12,000 gold bracelet.
