Police are appealing for information after a recent spate of burglaries in South Oxfordshire.

Last Friday, during the day, nine properties were broken into in Watlington, Aston Rowant, Chinnor, Lower Shiplake and Stoke Row, near Henley.

There have been reports of two white men, aged 16 to 18, in the areas at the time of the burglaries. It is possible that they could have been in a small blue vehicle.

Det Sgt Frankie Jarvis said: “I suspect that these burglaries could be linked and I’m keen to catch those responsible.

“In most of the burglaries the thieves stole mainly cash and jewellery.

“I would urge anyone who may have seen the two men or any suspicious activity in the area to contact the police.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is asked to contact Witney police station via 0845 8 505 505, or if you don’t want to talk to the police or give your name, call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
