CASH and jewellery were stolen by burglars from a Banbury home on Friday.

Thames Valley Police said the thieves broke in to the Neithrop Avenue property by forcing open conservatory doors at the back of the house, between 8.20am and 5.45pm.

The owners returned home at 5.45pm and police said it is thought they might have disturbed the offenders.

The force is appealing for witnesses who may have seen any suspicious activity in the area in Neithrop Avenue, Ruscote Avenue, Parklands or Warwick Road.
