Thefts from vehicles, particularly work vans

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

This month two suspects have been arrested for burglaries that have taken place across the west Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire area. This has been a really positive result following the increase in burglaries in our area.
We have continued to regularly patrol areas that are more frequently targeted for thefts from vehicles and burglaries, with specific patrols dedicated to this.
The team has also been dedicated to assisting and educating residents in the best security measures that they can take to prevent becoming a victim of vehicle crime or burglary.

Shoplifting, e-bike riding, and general anti-social behaviour within our town and village centres.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

The neighbourhood team have continued to tackle ASB and shoplifting in Chipping Norton and the surrounding towns and villages.
Through partnership working local businesses, we have continued to attend shoplifting reports, with some great results following intervention in the early stages of these offences.

We have also continued to support victims of ASB in the area, with one of our most prominent offenders receiving out of court intervention, which will result in a date at court if the order is not complied with.
