Car Theft Spike

Derbyshire Police are urging drivers, particularly Ford owners, to be security conscious after a number of thefts across the county.
During the past four weeks a total of 28 vehicles have been stolen, 11 of those being Fords, with sports editions such as ST or RS models being targeted most frequently.

Advice from police:
If you have a garage please park your vehicle in it and make sure it is secure.
Use a good quality steering wheel lock to help prevent the theft of your vehicle.
Consider having a tracker fitted to your car and if you have one make sure it has been switched on.
Keep your car keys safe inside your home. Make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked before going to bed and don’t leave keys in a place which would be easily noticed from the outside.
Keep keys in a faraday pouch to help block any signals which can be used by thieves.
