Police have issued a warning after a number of vehicle thefts across Peterborough.

Crime prevention officer Amanda Large said: “We have had five cars/vans stolen across Peterborough during the previous week and would urge all residents to make sure their vehicles are locked when unoccupied and that there is nothing of value left within.

“If you do park you car on your driveway then just a reminder that we still have some driveway alarms that can be purchased and collected from Thorpe Wood Police Station. We are selling these for £8 and please just send me an email if you would like me to set one aside for you at [email protected].”
