Two men were jailed yesterday for burgling the Oxford Union, in Frewin Court, off St Michael’s Street.
Marrion Cobraretti, 38, of Toot Hill Butts, Headington, and Richard Mitchell, 36, of no fixed address, walked into the Union building on Wednesday, January 18, and went into an office, where they stole a laptop computer and a camera.
They admitted charges of burglary at Oxford Magistrates’ Court and were jailed for five months each.
Investigating officer Pc George Atkinson said: “The victim in this case was a student and as a result of the theft she lost hundreds of hours of work, which wasn’t backed up.”
