Police today appealed for information after two burglaries in South Oxfordshire.

At 6.15pm, yesterday, an alarm was activated after offenders forced their way into a house in Bix, near Henley. They stole an iPod, docking station and computer.

At about 3am today, four people were disturbed in a house in Wayside Green, Woodcote, after the occupant was woken by a noise downstairs. Property, including two laptops, keys and a purse had been stolen.

“An old-style silver four-door hatchback was seen in the Bix area on Monday evening. Did you see this vehicle in the area acting suspiciously? If you did, then please contact police immediately.”
