THIS is one of the men wanted in connection with a break-in in Ardleigh.

Two men broke into Stephen Ellis’ home, in between 9.45pm and 10.15pm on Friday.

But Mr Ellis was just returning to his home, in Harwich Road, and saw a downstairs window had been smashed and knew his daughters, aged 15 and eight, and son, five, were in the house alone.

He went inside and fought one of the men before both men ran off towards the centre of the village empty handed.

The suspects are described as black and aged between 25 to 30.

One of the men was 5ft 11ins and skinny while the other 5ft 6ins and stocky.

Anyone with information on the either of the men should contact DC Dave Brooks at Clacton CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
