Thames Valley Police Hunt Trio Behind Bold Didcot Co-op Raids
Staff Threatened as Robbers Swipe Tobacco in Three Daring Heists
Thames Valley Police are on the trail of three men tied to a string of brazen robberies at the Co-op on Mersey Way, Didcot. Since Wednesday, 29 November 2025, the suspects have struck three times, snatching tobacco and intimidating staff—pushing employees during the latest raid. The most recent smash-and-grab happened at around 7pm on Sunday, 14 December 2025.
Police Plea: Witnesses Urged to Speak Up
Detective Constable Elena Ticanet from the Priority Crime Team is appealing to anyone who saw the Sunday evening robbery or recognises the suspects to step forward.
“We believe several customers inside the store at the time helped staff. We want to hear from anyone who has information, no matter how small,” she said.
“If you saw what happened or recognise the people pictured, please call 101 or report online quoting reference number 43250634969.”
“You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you prefer not to speak directly to the police.”
