GOLF clubs across Oxfordshire have been warned to be on the lookout for the theft of batteries from golf buggies.
The theft of batteries from golf buggies has become a growing issue and now Thames Valley Police are warning clubs in the county to be aware of the problem.
A spokesman for the force said there have been a considerable number of reported thefts nationally with one venue losing over 100 batteries, which were stripped from the buggies overnight.
A spokesman said: “It is unclear whether the thieves are selling the batteries, scrapping them or using them as a source of materials for other illegal schemes.”
She appealed for clubs to report any thefts.
