Caravan owners have been warned to be on their guard in the Oxfordshire area, after a pair of thieves made off with several caravan hitchings. The suspected pair struck at a caravan centre near Thame, stealing a total of 51 ALKO-branded hitchings, which were carried away in a trolley before being loaded into a vehicle, the Oxford Times reports.

Police are currently studying CCTV images to identify the culprits, who are believed to be in their late teens or early twenties.

The offence, which will come as a warning for anyone considering cutting corners on their caravan insurance, was reported to have taken place in the early hours of Thursday April 21st.

Popular caravan parks in Oxfordshire include Bladon Chains, Burford and Four Oaks, all of which are certified Caravan Club sites.

Earlier this week, caravan owners in Cambridgeshire were warned to be vigilant after a spate of caravan thefts in the Fenland and Huntingdon area.
