Two intruders were tracked after a Maldon resident disturbed them while they were trying to break into his car.

Early last week, police were called to Keeble Park, Maldon.

Two males, wearing hoods, had gained entry to the vehicle before they were disturbed by the owner.

Police officers searched the area on foot, using a dog unit.

One juvenile male was arrested and stolen property was recovered.

Police know the identity of the second male and enquiries are continuing.
