Burglars stole hundreds of pounds of cash from a Witney house after breaking through an upstairs window.

Police are appealing for witnesses to a burglary in Queen Emma’s Dyke sometime between 8.45am and 10.20pm on Thursday.

Det Con Kevin Middlecote said: “There appears to have been an untidy search of the two bedrooms in the house, during which the thieves found £300.

“We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen anything, whether it is people acting suspiciously or a suspicious vehicle.”

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