The force said a woman went into the Bassett Avenue Co-op in Bicester at about 6.50pm on December 7, chose bottles of alcohol and left without paying.

On the same day three women took £400 worth of meat from the Barberry Place, Bicester, branch. Thames Valley Police said they hid the meat and left without paying at about 5.40pm.

On December 9, they said cat food was stolen from a Co-op store in Banbury. Police said the Ferriston store was targeted by a man who stole a box of cat food at about 4.30pm.

In a separate incident, Lynx men’s cosmetics products worth about £112 were stolen from a Wilkinson shop in Bicester.

Police said a woman took the items at about 6pm on Wednesday, January 7, at the Market Square store. The force only released information on the thefts yesterday and did not say if they were connected.
