The Echo has received reports that an armed robbery has taken place at a town centre phone shop.
Witnesses reported three men armed with "what looked like a gun" storm into the EE phone shop in town square, Basildon, and stealing phones.
Other reports suggest it was a knife and not a gun that was used.
Essex Police has been contacted for comment.
