Police have issued the following advice:
• If you can, park your vehicle in a locked garage when it is unattended.
• If it’s not possible to garage your vehicle, park it in a busy, well-lit area as close to your property as possible.
• Consider installing a Thatcham approved alarm to your vehicle. Ones that activate if your vehicle is lifted or tilted are particularly effective.
• Use a catalytic converter protection device or marking system.
