Two men attempted to break into a Benfleet home while wearing Deliveroo jackets and carrying hammers, fleeing after the occupants held the door shut. The homeowners, who shared Ring doorbell footage to help prevent further incidents, expressed distress after the video circulated on social media without consent. Police described the suspects and appealed for information, while Deliveroo was asked for comment with no indication the offenders worked for the company.
