Two men were arrested on suspicion of theft of metal from the back of a house in Headington in the early hours today.

The men, both 19, were detained outside the property in Old Road by police, and a large amount of lead flashing was discovered during a search of their vehicle.

A third man who was with the other two made off when police arrived at the scene at 1.47am.

Det Sgt Kevin Parsons said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who saw these men, or know the identity of this other man.”

Both men are still being held in police custody for questioning.
