Police appeal after service station burglary
Police are appealing for information after burglars forced entry to the Blewbury Service Station on the A417 London Road in Blewbury, near Didcot in the early hours of this morning.
At 5.30am a man who was delivering newspapers discovered the front door had been forced open, causing extensive damage.
Around 15 bottles of wine and spirits had been stolen along with disposable cigarette lights, lottery scratch cards and 30 DVDs.
Carrier bags containing broken bottles were found nearby.
Det Sgt Chris Hand, of Abingdon CID, said: “There was a lot of damage to the store and a considerable amount of property has been stolen so we are extremely keen to hear from anyone who may have been passing nearby who saw or heard anything suspicious.
Carrier bags with bottles believed to have been stolen from the garage were found nearby on Bessels Way and I am keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anyone as they made off from the burglary.
Also, if you are offered for sale anything which you believe may have come from this burglary then I urge you to get in touch with police.”
Anyone with information can contact Det Sgt Hand at Abingdon CID, via the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505.
If you have information but to do not want to speak to police or leave your name you can contact the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
