Police are appealing for witnesses after a £150,000 machine was stolen from a firm in Eynsham.
Thieves got into the McKenna Plant Hire site in Church Hanborough Road and stolen the 35-tonne, yellow C-10 Jaw Crusher.
The hteft happened sometime between Friday evening and Tuesday morning. Details were only released this evening.
PC Tracy Frazer said: “The vehicle is worth in excess of £150,000 and would have to have been low loaded on to the back of an articulated vehicle.
“I am keen to hear from anyone who might have seen any suspicious activity in the area between Friday and Tuesday, or anyone who has seen a low-loaded lorry carrying plant equipment near here.”
Anyone with information should contact PC Frazer via the 24-hour Thames Valley Police Enquiry Line on 0845 8 505 505. Alternatively, you can contact the Crimestopper charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
