Stolen vans and a car have been uncovered during a raid at a south Essex address as police try to make the county an "uncomfortable" place for thieves.
Four stolen vehicles were recovered during the raid at an address in Stanford-le-Hope on Saturday, September 30.
Officers executed the warrant in Stanford Road at about 8am and found three vans and a car there. All the vehicles are believed to be stolen.
One of the vehicles – a white Ford Transit van – had been stolen from an address in Parsonage Road, Grays at around 9pm the previous day.

Essex Police says its enquiries into the discovery are ongoing and officers are now working to identify the owners of all the vehicles found.
Detective Chief Inspector Al Blakesley said: "We recognise the impact that having your vehicle stolen can have.
"We are working hard to identify those involved and are trying to make Essex an uncomfortable place for thieves to operate.
"We need the people of Essex to help us in these efforts and I urge anyone who has information to get in touch."
