Car Finance customers in the Wantage area of Ox FORD may be pleased to read that car crime has dropped in their locale.
Figures have been released by Thames Valley Police highlighting a reduction in vehicles crime of more than half in the past year.

Meanwhile, thefts of vehicles were down by 47 per cent at 42 incidents.
