A would-be thief has been reportedly trying the door handles of cars parked in a Shropshire town.
West Mercia Police officer Sam Newbrook posted on the force's Neighbourhood Matters page stating that"an unknown male has been seen on CCTV trying door handles to cars".Advice issued to vehicle owners included:
If your vehicle has wing mirrors that fold in automatically when locked, make sure you lock it properly. Criminal gangs are looking for vehicles like these where the wing mirrors are still out because it is clear to them that the vehicle has been left unlocked. Thieves only need to be within a few metres of your car key to capture the signal, even if it's inside your home. This means that even if your car and home are secure, thieves can still unlock, start and steal your car.
