A PECKISH burglar took time out of rummaging through his victim's belongings to cook himself a meal at a flat in Didcot last Sunday.

According to police, the thief burgled the property in Wantage Road after having the snack and smoking some cigarettes.

He was disturbed by a woman while he was subsequently going through a cupboard of the hair salon downstairs and made off.

Police have released a CCTV image of a man they say may hold vital information.

“If you recognise him then please get in touch with us to help with the investigation.

“Anyone with any information is asked to call 101 quoting reference 43180268491.”
