A teenager is due to appear in court today charged with stealing a car and crashing it into a ditch.

Aarron Hook, 19, of Clark's Row, Oxford, was arrested after a red Peugeot 206 was found alight in a ditch on the A44 at Cleveley, near Enstone, at 4.20am yesterday.

The car had been reported stolen from Foundry Street in Banbury earlier in the morning after the keys were stolen from inside a house.

Hook has been charged with burglary and is due to appear at Banbury Magistrates' Court.
