Warning after spate of thefts from cars
10:14am Monday 3rd September 2012 in News By Matthew Taylor
THIS month there have been 21 recorded thefts from vehicles in Crewe.
Police have issued a warning about the spate of robberies.
In 12 cases, the cars were left unlocked.
DI Nigel Groom said: "The majority of incidents occurred overnight and are a clear case of an opportunist thief trying door handles in the hope of striking lucky.
"Sadly in Crewe, there appears to have been rich pickings as they found 12 cars unlocked and were able to take advantage.
"While we continue to crackdown on car thieves, we urge people to lock their cars up and report to police anyone acting suspiciously in their street.
"We also advise people never to leave cash or valuables in a parked vehicle and certainly not to leave anything of value on show."
Anyone with information regarding thefts from cars should call the Cheshire Police non emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
