Burglars stole a five-figure sum of cash from a Brentwood supermarket after a late-night raid.

They stole the cash and cigarettes from the store, which was closed at the time.
Police said the burglary was reported to them just before 6am the following morning.
CCTV footage from inside the Co-op has since been handed to the police.

“CCTV has been given to the police and as with any incident such as this; we would appeal for anyone with information to come forward.”
