A WH Smith stationery shop was burgled for cigarettes in Chipping Norton.

Police said four burglars, who wore masks, forced open the High Street shop's front door and stole cigarettes.

They left in a Subaru Legacy, or similar-looking vehicle, which was waiting outside the shop.

Police said the break-in was at 3.10am on Thursday, January 22, but did not release information to the public until now.
