A WOMAN was left shaken after two burglars forced their way into her flat and stole a safe in the early hours of the morning.

The victim was at her home in Layer Road, Colchester, at 1am today when the pair knocked at the door.

They pushed their way in and threatened her, demanding a safe which she gave them although it only contained personal papers and no money.

The woman was shaken but physically uninjured by her ordeal.

Police have appealed for anyone in the Layer Road area who saw anything suspicious at around that time to contact them on 0300 333 4444.
