Two men stole a woman’s mobile phone after she invited them to her house to buy it, police said.

The 56-year-old woman advertised the phone for sale on the Gumtree website, police said, and the two men went to her house in Robinson Close, Blewbury, near Didcot, to pick it up at 6.45pm on Saturday.

But Thames Valley Police said they refused to pay the full amount for the phone – a Samsung Galaxy 6 – and instead grabbed it and fled the scene in a black Vauxhall Corsa.
