PC Michael Collery, of the neighbourhood policing team, said: "The likelihood is that youths were involved (it being Halloween) but due to the hour I have no witnesses.
"There were a number of 'eggings' to properties in the Greenwood area of the town. These caused no lasting damage, but were of concern to the affected householders. This is clear antisocial behaviour."
Residents in Bicester are being encouraged to report any incident of antisocial behaviour to police.
