THE theft of a dishwasher was one of the more unusual crimes reported to members of Oxenhope Parish Council at their latest meeting.

The written police report, which detailed offences recorded in the parish during the month before the meeting last Wednesday, (Dec 13) said the dishwasher had been stolen after it was left outside a local property.

Other more conventional crimes in Oxenhope during this same period included two garage break-ins, one theft from a vehicle, and a stolen Land Rover.
