Warning after spate of thefts from vehicles in Peterborough

Police have received reports of thieves targeting cars in Sugar Way, Dogsthorpe, Bretton and Westwood.

Items stolen include a sat nav, money, sweets, school bags and sunglasses.

Amanda Large, crime prevention officer in Peterborough, said: “Please make sure your vehicles are always locked and secured and there are no valuables on display. It’s also worth investing in a driveway alarm which will activate internally when an intruder enters the driveway/garden.

“These can be ordered from sites such as Amazon and we still have a number for sale at Thorpe Wood Police Station for £8. If you would like us to reserve one for you then please email [email protected] or [email protected].

“Report suspicious activity by calling 999 if a crime is in progress or 101 for a police non-emergency or visit www.cambs.police.uk/report. You can also call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or via www.crimestoppers-uk.org.”
