A WH Smith stationery shop was burgled in Chipping Norton.
Police said four burglars, who wore masks, forced open the High Street shop's front door and stole cigarettes.
They left in a Subaru Legacy, or similar-looking vehicle, which was waiting outside the shop.
Police said the break-in was at 3.10am on Thursday, January 22, but did not release information to the public until January 27.
