Police are appealing for witnesses after a Headington shop was broken into overnight.

Thieves broke into La Croissanterie, in Old High Street, by smashing the rear doors and stole a quantity of cash from the tills.

PC George Atkinson said: “This burglary could have happened anytime from 7pm last night until 7am this morning, when the shop owner discovered it.

“There would have more than likely been a loud noise last night as the thieves broke in, and I am appealing for anyone who heard or saw anything to please get in touch.”
