Police are appealing for information following the theft of a rare and collectable games console from a house in Banbury.

An address in Hearthway was burgled in the early hours of Friday, June 20.

A number of items were stolen, including an X-box 360 with a limited edition design taken from the Japanese video game Eternal Sonata. The X-box is a rare collectors' item and is very distinctive.

Other items were also taken including a Hewlett Packard laptop computer, a PlayStation Portable (PSP), a white Nintendo DS, a silver digital camera, a silver iPod and a Sony Ericsson mobile phone.

Det Sgt Matt Bick, of Banbury police station, has asked people to keep an eye out for the games console.

He said: "Anyone being offered the X-box should recognise its unique design and they are urged to contact the police should they come across it".

"We urge householders to be vigilant at all times and to lock all doors and windows before they go to bed".

Det Sgt Bick can be contacted on 0845 8 505505. Alternatively, should you not wish to speak to the police or give your name, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
