Thieves stole a car parked in a Heyford Hill garage early this morning before driving off and crashing it into a building in Blackbird Leys.
According to Thames Valley Police the offenders entered the garage in Littlemore at about 3.05am today.
They then found the keys to a BMW parked at the property and stole it.
The car was later spotted and pursued by police. It ended up crashing into and damaging a building on Spindleberry Close.
Offenders then fled the vehicle in the direction of Northbrook House. They left clothing, including a pair of white gloves, along Barns Road near the Eastern bypass.
Investigating officer PC Jason Walsh from Abingdon Local CID said: “We want to speak to anyone with information which may help us to catch these offenders.
“Witnesses may have seen or heard the offenders around the Heyford Hill area at approximately 3am. They may have seen the collision in Spindlebury Close, or may have seen the offenders running along Barns Road towards Northbrook House.
“We are asking for the public’s help to trace these offenders and bring them to justice.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 101.
