Drivers in Burntwood are being urged to be on their guard after car registration plates in the town were cloned.

A resident reported earlier this month that they believed their black Kia Optima had been targeted.

Police say the cloned vehicle is believed to have been involved in a number of recent thefts.

Chief Inspector David Wain, of Staffordshire Police, said:

> “Owners of keyless entry cars are reminded to ensure their vehicles are secured at all times.  
>  
> “Consider using Faraday bags to store keys which can prevent remote cloning and consider using steering locks on vehicles.”
