Police are seeking witnesses after a spate of village burglaries.

The crimes took place in Harwell and Drayton, near Didcot.

Three of the incidents, in Downs Close, The Winnaway and The Holloway in Harwell, took place between 1.20pm and 2.45pm on Monday, with the fourth burglary taking place between 8.50am and 4pm in Steventon Road, Drayton.

Jewellery was taken from the Harwell properties while police are still ascertaining if anything was taken in Drayton.

Pc Maria Morrisey said: “A witness saw a dark metallic blue Audi A6 estate at the scene of one of the crimes, with two white men, in their mid-30s in it.

“They were both in grey labouring trousers and jackets. One was wearing a dark beanie hat and the other a dark peaked cap.

“There was another person driving the vehicle who we don’t have a description of, so I am appealing to anyone who might have seen this car, and the men, in the area, to contact me.”

Anyone with information should call 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
