POLICE are appealing for information following an aggravated burglary in Aveley.

It was reported four people broke into an address in Love Lane at around 2.35am today (Wednesday, 6 July) armed with a large knife and a crow bar or wrench.

They threatened the people inside and demanded money and valuables and made off with jewellery, an electric bike, cash and Dolce and Gabbana bag worth a three-figure sum.

A police statement says: "We need anyone who saw anything or has any CCTV, dash cam, or doorbell footage to contact us.
