Police appeal after number of burglaries in Beaumont Leys
Police in Beaumont Leys are appealing for witnesses after three houses were burgled on Galleywood Drive.
All three instances of burglary happened on the evening of Saturday May 30.

Taken from the property was an Aspire Acer laptop, a Fuji digital camera, a silver necklace and a green a purple girls bicycle. The bicycle has since been found and returned to the owner.
The second incident happened at around 4.30am when the victim heard a loud banging noise from downstairs. Upon inspection she found that a rear window to the property had been damaged and saw someone in a light coloured top running out of the garden.
The victim found that the green and purple bicycle, stolen from the first burglary on the road, had been left in her garden.
The third incident happened between 1.30am and 7am on Sunday May 31, when the victim was alerted that a window at the back of the property had been forced open.
Nothing was taken from the property.

“In light of the burglaries we have planned to increase patrols in the area and have posted leaflets through resident’s doors to make them aware. We would like to take this opportunity to remind the public to keep their homes safe and secure to help prevent burglaries at their properties.”
