Gang raids leather shop
Seven men wearing balaclavas have raided a shop in South Oxfordshire.

The gang forced their way into Swaggers on the High Street in Watlington at about 2030 GMT on Wednesday and stole leather goods.

A passer-by was threatened before four of the men escaped in a red Rover which had been stolen from a car park in the village.

The other offenders fled the scene on foot.

The Rover was later abandoned in the High Street, Lewknor, where the men were seen transferring goods into another vehicle.
