The Oxford Police Department (OPD) responded to multiple reports of theft from June 16 to June 23. OPD also responded to a man who was trespassing and digging a trench on nearby properties.
On June 16, just before 11:30 a.m., officers responded to a call from Enterprise Rent-A-Car about a stolen vehicle, according to the OPD media report. The suspect’s identity is known.
On June 17, at 7 p.m., a female reported to the OPD that she had been scammed by a sweepstakes fraud over a year and a half, according to the OPD media report. She was extorted out of approximately $16,000.
On June 18, just before noon, OPD responded to a call from Red Brick Property Management about a stolen washer and dryer from a house on South Main Street, according to the department’s media report.
The back door and window to the property were found unlocked, and employees said that the washer and dryer would require more than one person to move them.

On June 22, just before 8:30 a.m., officers responded to an attempted break-in at Village Green Apartments, according to the department’s report.
