Community Beat Manager, PC Jon Belcher said: “Unfortunately we have seen an increase in offences where Sat-Nav systems and other high value electronics such as Ipads, Laptops and mobile phones have been left on display in the vehicles.

“This is an open invitation to opportunist thieves who actively look for these items. The message is to ensure that you remove all of your valuables from your vehicle when you leave it, either at home or at work”.
