The team will be handing out crime prevention leaflets in targeted areas to encourage residents to increase their car security in a bid to discourage criminals.

Sergeant Jon Lloyd from the team said: “Thieves are opportunists so before leaving your vehicle unattended, ensure that windows and doors are securely locked and that no items are left on display, or removed completely where possible.”

Officers will also be tackling problem parking on Alma Street, Queens Road and Prince’s Road. Bench Road and Boarstones Lane.
