Thames Valley Police issues theft alert
Thames Valley Police alert:
“We are continuing to receive reports of thefts from motor vehicles, most recently in the areas of Charlbury, Chadlington and Leafield.
“Offenders appear to be targeting areas where dog walkers/walkers are likely to leave their cars unattended for a period of time. On some occasions items have been left on view on others number plates have been taken. Offenders will smash the windows of the vehicle and take anything that is on offer.
“This is not only upsetting for the victims, but also time consuming, due to cards having to be cancelled and re-ordered, windows to be fixed, insurance contacted and potentially locks of homes changed.
“The following link offers further advice on how to keep your vehicle safe:

“If you are unfortunate enough to fall victim to a theft from your vehicle, then please contact police as soon as possible, cancel cards which have been taken, if your mobile phone is taken, do you have access to other means to track the whereabouts of the phone.”
