Police are urging residents in Burns Crescent and Byron Way, Bicester, to start Neighbourhood Watch after a spate of burglaries.

Officers want people to join the scheme, including community messaging, so they could be warned about criminal activity in their area immediately.

DS Steve Birchall said: “The more who get involved the better – it’s more eyes and ears to assist police.”
