Thieves take sound system and television set

80% of Thames Valley's 999 calls last week "inappropriate"

The incident occurred between 11am and 4.05pm, when intruders entered the rear garden and forced a door open. A black television and a Phillips surround sound system were then stolen from the living room.

Detective Constable Chris Phillips said: “I am appealing for anyone with information about the incident to please come forward. It is likely that the offender(s) would have walked off from the area so may have been seen carrying the television after the incident.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who may have been offered similar equipment for sale in suspicious circumstances.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det Con Phillips via email to [email protected] or by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference 41/22430/18.
