Staffordshire Police are warning motorists to travel prepared with items including ice scrapers, warm cloths, reflective signs and a snow shovel.

But they are also reminding people to be vigilant against opportunist thieves.

> “Ensure you don’t leave your vehicles unlocked, running and unattended while de-icing.  
>  
> “This time of year is perfect or opportunists to commit car thefts as many people may start their vehicles to warm them up while getting ready to leave for work.  
>  
> “Remember it only takes seconds to steal a running vehicle.”
