THAMES VALLEY POLICE – Press release
THE Police are asking the public to check their sheds and out-buildings to see if they have had any property stolen.
This advice follows the execution of a warrant at a property in Roxburgh Drive in Didcot on March 7, where officers found a large quantity of stolen property.
PC Maria Morrisey, from Abingdon police station said: ?We carried out a comprehensive search of the property and found a large number of stolen items, mainly garden equipment, including rotavators and strimmers. Now we need to identify where is has been stolen from.
?There is an unusual ?pony and trap? harness, along with a bridle and lead rope which would be used for a large horse and we are keen to trace their owners.
