Sophie Law, a BBC Radio Oxford host, broke down in tears when she announced she was leaving the station earlier this week.

While she has been at the station for a decade, she has been the face of the station’s breakfast station for the last three years.

During a tearful last radio broadcast, she said: “At the end of this week I’m going to leave this show and it’s for the best reasons.”

However this won’t be the last time Oxfordshire residents will hear Ms Law’s voice as she is joining the presenting team at BBC South Today on the 6.30pm weekday show.

Ms Law said she is “excited and thrilled”.

She added: “I’m going to be on BBC One across the south and I’m really thrilled about that but I am so, so sad about leaving this show.

“[But] it is the opportunity of a lifetime and I know that if I’d turned it down, I would have spent the rest of my life and career wondering what if.”

She said the decision has been “extremely difficult and emotional”.

She said: “I know that you all keep listening and I hope that you will still invite me into your home, albeit at the other end of the day.”

Oxfordshire Bootsale and Events Company said its Burcot sale just off the Berinsfield Roundabout will not go ahead on the first day of each weekend.

Organisers said on social media that the reasons are down to a “lack of support at present and huge expenses and people moaning [that] it’s too small”.

They added: “Sadly they forget Abingdon and Witney were that small and had to grow. Our policy has now to be use it or lose it.”

However, officials confirmed the event would still go ahead each Sunday at the same location, just off the A415.

Abingdon and Witney car boot sales will continue to go ahead as planned.

Jamie Clark, aged 36, from Henley was arrested on April 7 and charged the following day.

On April 9 he appeared before High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to six shoplifting offences and two counts of criminal damage, committed between 28 March and 2 April at Boots on Bell Street, Henley.

He was sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment. 

Police constable Sarah Puksis said: “This sentence sends a clear message – repeat shoplifting, particularly of high value goods, won’t be tolerated.

“We work closely with retailers to identify offenders and take firm action.”

This is not the first time Mr Clark has been in trouble with the law, nor is it the first time he has stolen from the Henley Boots.

In 2025, he was sentenced to four months and two weeks in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of shoplifting at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on November 18.

On October 21 and 22 last year, Clark forced open a cabinet in Boots on Bell Street and stole high-value fragrances worth a total of £4,965.

Clark was arrested on November 17, 2025, and charged the same day.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said on the latest incident: “We’re absolutely committed to tackling shoplifting and supporting local businesses.

“So please keep reporting incidents, save CCTV, and let us do the rest. Remember: the only thing you should be lifting in Boots… is your shopping basket.”
