BURGLARS escaped with £29,000 worth of antiques from a house after getting in through a rear window.
Police are appealing for information following a high-value burglary in Kingston Hill, in Kingston Blount, near Chinnor, overnight between Sunday, March 10, and Monday, March 11.
Among the stolen goods are a variety of antiques, including a George III sideboard valued at £4,500, a silver fruit bowl engraved "Kingston Blount" worth £2,000 and various items of silver tableware, some of which has a Hanoverian pattern.
The house was occupied at the time of the burglary and detectives believe the offenders escaped through the rear garden.
Pc Dave Edwards, of the Priority Crime Team in Didcot, said: "I am keen to speak to anyone who saw any suspicious activity taking place in or around Kingston Hill on the night in question. Kingston Blount is a small village, but very close to junction eight of the M40.
"I would also like to appeal to any antique dealers who come into contact with anything they find suspicious, or any antiques with the distinctive Hanoverian markings to contact us."
Anyone with information should contact police on 08458 505505 or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
