Detectives in Clacton are appealing for witnesses after a burglary in St Osyth where the victim had a liquid sprayed at him.
It was reported a man in his 30s was attacked in his home, on Seawick Avenue, at around 1.30am on Friday, July 5.
His property was broken into by three men, who then proceeded to spray the man with an unknown liquid, which is not believed to be corrosive.
Nothing is believed to have been taken.
