Police appeal for witnesses after Banbury weekend burglary

The incident happened on at 3.30pm, when two suspects entered a property on Dover Avenue and stole the keys for two vehicles.

They were disturbed and the vehicles left at the address.

The first offender is described as white, around 5ft 6ins tall, blond hair and skinny, in his mid to late teens.

He was wearing grey jogging bottoms and a grey puffer jacket with long sleeves and a hood.

The second is described as an older male, possibly in his 20s, wearing a dark grey body warmer with the hood up, grey jogging bottoms and black shoes.

The victim did not see his face, so ethnicity is unknown.

The victims, a man in his 50s, a woman in her 30s and a boy were not injured.
