Luxury car thefts warning

OWNERS of luxury and off-road vehicles are being urged to increase security after a spate of high value thefts in north Nottinghamshire.

In the last month thefts from homes of a number of executive-type cars and 4X4 vehicles have been reported to police in Worksop. A BMW 3 series was also stolen from the back of a transporter lorry parked at the Moto Services on the A1 at Blyth.

Police are urging motorists to use steering-wheel locks, fit alarms, ensure car windows and doors are secure, and to empty their vehicles of valuables.

Car keys should not be left on display in their homes.
