THIEVES broke into a house and stole a television before dumping it outside a school.

Thames Valley Police said burglars broke into the home in Fiennes Road, Banbury, in the early hours of Friday and took a television, laptop, amplifier, electric guitar and a handbag.

Some of the items, including the television, were later found in an alleyway near St Josephs’ School, a force spokesman added. 

Those with information should call 101.
