Essex Police recovered more than £100,000 worth of stolen goods

More than £100,000 of suspected stolen goods have been found following a "large scale" lorry theft in October.

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods.

Essex Police believes the stolen goods were connected to items that were taken from a lorry at the Birchanger service station near Bishop's Stortford, Essex, between 12 and 13 October.

The men have been released under investigation while inquiries continue.

Police forces from Braintree and Chelmsford carried out warrants on locations across London on 12 February.

Insp Phil Jackson said: "This was a successful series of warrants, which is allowing us to progress this investigation.

"It was a real team effort from across the force and I'm grateful for the support of those involved."

Essex Police has also urged people to come forward if they have any information.
