THIEVES stole 600 printers worth £30,000 from a lorry while it was parked up for the night on the Wildmere industrial estate in Banbury.

Between 11pm on Wednesday and 7.15am on Thursday, thieves cut through the curtain of the lorry and stole the Epson Stylus R265, D78 and D68 printers.

PC Robin Buswell, of Banbury police, said: "I am hoping someone may have seen some suspicious activity in the area overnight.

"We have also received reports from customers of the company the printers were destined for receiving anonymous calls asking if they would like to make an offer on a printer and the stolen models have been quoted."
