Police make arrest in connection to spate of Banbury town centre burglaries

Thames Valley Police arrested a 33 year old man on suspicion of burglary yesterday, Sunday December 6.

The arrest was in connection to several recent reports of break ins to local businesses in Banbury Town Centre.

No further details were immediately available. Officers from TVP Banbury posted a message on social media about the arrest, which also said: "An update will follow as the investigation progresses."

A dozen businesses have been targeted by burglars in the town centre within the last month.

The latest two burglaries occurred last weekend after police confirmed the Cafe Nero coffee shop in the High Street and a salon in Church Lane were burgled either last night, Friday December 4 or during the early morning hours of today, Saturday December 5.

Another 10 businesses were burgled in the last several weeks, including two charity shops.
