Police officers said they located a BMW within 30 minutes of being told it was stolen.

Essex Police said it was told the vehicle had been taken from an address in Milwards, Harlow, shortly before 06:20 GMT.

Officers tracked the car and located it about six miles away in the Crooked Mile area of Waltham Abbey. The vehicle is being returned to its owner.

Police said two men, or boys - described as black with one wearing a white hooded top - were reportedly spotted leaving the scene.

Sgt Luke Edmonds said: "We know the impact having your car stolen has and we know how important it is to get it back.

"But our investigation doesn't stop there and we're now working to identify and locate the people responsible for taking it."

Anyone with information, such as CCTV or dashcam footage, was asked to contact the force.
