"Leaving property and valuables on display can also provide a temptation to a thief. Any type of property that is on display is vulnerable: satellite navigation systems, laptops, phones, bags, money, CDs and radios.
"If property is visible in an unattended vehicle a thief can quickly break the window and steal it."
Police are appealing for anyone with information about these crimes to contact officers at Dunmow on 0300 3334444, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
