A burglar thought to have targeted a property for its vehicles ended up stealing an occupant’s shoes instead.
Access was gained to a property on Idstone Road in Ashbury village near Swindon between 10.45pm on Tuesday, November 19 and 6.45am the following day.
Thames Valley Police suspect that the vehicles on the driveway were the target, but reports that clothing and footwear were stolen.
