THREE men have been arrested following an attempted raid on the Co-op in East Tilbury in the early hours of this morning (Friday, 9 April).

Police were called at 1.30am after a witness reported seeing three men in balaclavas trying to break into the store at Stanford House, Princess Margaret Road.

Officers arrived ten minutes later and arrested two people. A third was found hiding below the till.

Two men both aged 36 and from Tilbury were arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary.

A 22-year-old man from Stanford-le-Hope was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and possession of drugs.

They remain in custody for questioning.
