POLICE are linking a series of burglaries in Faringdon.

A house in Elm Road was broken into between 6.30pm on Wednesday, April 30, and 7.30am the following day.

The burglar forced open a window and stole some jewellery before leaving through the back door.

This break-in is being linked to burglaries in London Street, Fernham Road and Lansdown Road - all in Faringdon - last month.

Police received reports that around the time of these all burglaries a man with ginger hair was seen knocking on doors in the area.

Det Con Chris Leech, based at Abingdon police station, said: "I suspect that this burglary could be linked to others that have happened in the Faringdon area recently.

"We have had reports of a man with ginger hair knocking on doors in the area around the time of the burglaries. I am keen to speak to this man as I feel that he could help me with my investigation "I would also suggest that as the thieves are stealing small items like jewellery and money, there is a chance that they have no access to a vehicle.

"I would urge anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area to contact me.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to offer the following advice to residents to help keep their homes secure."

Residents should not leave windows or doors open, ensure a burglar alarm is fitted, use timer switches and ask a neighbour to watch over the property when away.

Anyone with information should speak to police on 0845 8 505 505 or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
