Burglars made off with silverware after breaking into a property in Bushey Row in Bampton last night.

Between 10pm and 11.30pm on Monday night the thieves forced their way in through a back window and searched the kitchen.

They stole candlesticks, tumblers, a salt cellar and spoons before leaving through a side door.

According to Thames Valley Police a high-performance vehicle was heard outside at the time of the burglary.
