A BURGLAR who drove off in a decorator's car stole the keys from inside a house while it was being renovated.

The victim left his car keys in the hallway of a home he was refurbishing in Park Lane, Woodstock, on Friday.

Minutes later a man was seen driving his silver Audi S3 along Rectory Road towards the A44.

A man seen loitering near the house at the time is described as white, about 6ft tall, slim build, in his mid or late 20s, pale with short mousey-coloured hair.

Anyone with information should ring Sgt Bryan Percival of the police priority crime team on 08458 505 505.
