Hide AdA police spokesman said: “We are asking for residents to ensure property is as secure as possible, particularly outbuildings and garages and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 (if a crime is in progress) or 101 (non-urgent).
“We are also asking residents to be vigilant for the Transit van, as it may well have been abandoned somewhere in the area due to defective power steering.”
