Police are appealing for information after a series of burglaries across south Oxfordshire.
Over the past week, there have been 11 burglaries in total throughout the Henley, Binfield Heath, Woodcote and Goring areas.
Police said these burglaries are not believed to be linked. Officers are urging residents to be vigilant and look out for any suspicious activity in these areas.
Det Insp Mark Johns said: “I am sure there is someone out there who has some information about these burglaries and I would urge them to come forward and help us with our investigation.
“The neighbourhood teams in the respective areas have been made aware and patrols have been stepped up to offer reassurance to residents in these areas. We have a team of detectives carrying out an extensive investigation and we hope to find those responsible soon.
“I would also like to remind people to always take precautions and be vigilant to these types of offences and always ensure your homes are locked and secure at all times.
“If you see anything suspicious or have any suspicious callers to your home, then please call and let us know so that our neighbourhood teams are aware and we can respond appropriately.”
The following is a list of all the offences that have happened in these areas:
