Police are appealing for information after two properties were burgled in Faringdon.

Between 9pm on Sunday and 8.30am on Monday, burglars climbed into a house through an open ground floor window and stole items including a DVD, a cup full of five pence coins and a mobile phone.

At some point between midnight and 5.45am on Monday, thieves have gained access to a house through insecure patio doors and stole the car keys from the house, then stole the car, a Nissan 300 ZX.

The car was found shortly afterwards abandoned in Cedar Road.

Police have not said where the burglaries took place.

Det Con Chris Leech, based at Abingdon police station, said: “I am appealing to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area to contact us on 0845 8 505 505."
