A car was stolen following a burglary of a house in Faringdon.

The thieves struck between 11pm yesterday and 7.15am today when burglars forced open the rear patio doors and stole a wallet and car keys.

They then stole a silver-coloured Saab 9-3, which was parked on the drive. Police have not identified the location of the burglary.

Det Con Chris Leech said: “I am appealing to anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area to contact the police.

”We are also still trying to find the car, and I ask anyone who sees a silver Saab abandoned, or saw it being driven near the time of the burglary, to get in touch.”
