Police this afternoon appealed for witnesses after a burglary and an attempted burglary in Littlemore.
At about 1.30pm yesterday, two men were spotted trying to get into a property in Oxford Road by a neighbour. The men ran off after the neighbour shouted at them, but not before they had caused damage to two windows.
Police were later called to a property in the same road after the residents returned home to discover they had been burgled. The burglary happened some time between 9am and 9pm.
It is not known at this time what has been stolen in the burglary.
Det Sgt Louise Tompkins said: “We are linking these two incidents and we would like to hear from anyone who may have seen two men hanging around this area.
“Thames Valley Police is cracking down on burglars as part of the on-going Operation Breaker and those carrying out this type of crime will be dealt with.”
Anyone with information should contact Det Sgt Tompkins via the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505, or alternatively contact the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
