MINDLESS vandals stole keys and damaged property during a burglary.

Thieves broke into a maintenance building in Trinity Street, Halstead, between 6pm, on Thursday, July 6 and 10.58am on Friday.

After breaking the outside padlock they stole keys used for the water taps and the flagpole.

The keys have no value but the loss of them will cause significant disruption.
