Raiders stole thousands of pounds of cigarettes and charity boxes after breaking into a supermarket this morning.

The burglars forced open the front door at Budgens in Marlborough Street, Faringdon, at about 4.10am.

They stole £3,000 worth of cigarettes and charity boxes for Parkinson's Disease Society and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said it is believed the burglars escaped in a car which was parked outside the shop.
