Thames Valley Police are appealing for information following the theft of four Mitsubishi pick-ups from a dealership in Oxfordshire.
Six thieves broke into Bristol Street Motors Mitsubishi Banbury last month and stole four Mitsubishi L200s, according to the Oxford Mail.
The gang entered the dealership on Southam Road, Banbury, between 11pm and 11.55pm on February 28 and drove away in the vehicles.
Two of the pick-ups were later found about three miles away near Middleton Cheney in south Northamptonshire, about three miles east of Banbury.
The vehicles are believed to have been abandoned because they ran out of fuel.
