POLICE are appealing for help from the public to find two men they would like to speak to in connection with burglaries in Braintree and Kelvedon.

Officers are keen to speak to Timothy Gell about a dwelling burglary and assault which both happened in Braintree on Tuesday November 9, 2010 and Friday April 2, 2011 respectively.

The 24-year-old is described as white, 5ft 8in and of medium build. He has a tattoo on his neck, short dark brown hair and blue eyes.

Police are also appealing for help to trace 22-year-old Thomas Iverson.

Officers would like to interview him in connection with a burglary which happened in Kelvedon on Monday May 31, 2011.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Service would also like to speak to Iverson about three burglaries.

He is thought to be living in Stratford but could be living in or visiting Essex.

Dc Charlotte Pearce from Chelmsford Target Team said: “Burglary has a devastating impact on homeowners who have to deal with the fact that someone has been in their home looking through their possessions.

“That’s why Essex Police takes burglary so seriously.”

Anyone who knows of the whereabouts of these men is asked to contact Chelmsford Target Team on 0300 333 444 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
