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
