Burglars have targeted two churches in one week.
On Wednesday two pewter mugs were taken from St Peter’s Church, in Charney Bassett, near Wantage.
And between Wednesday and Friday last week, a collection box was taken from St Denys Church, in Stanford in the Vale.
Chief Insp Andy Boyd, commander for the Vale, said: “It’s appalling that somebody has chosen to abuse the trust given by churches in order for these premises to be left open during the day.
“We are appealing for witnesses and asking for people to be vigilant around the area of churches.”
If anyone has any information, call Thames Valley Police on 0845 8505505 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
