POLICE say there will be increased visibility of officers after reports of groups of young people trying car doors at Burntwood Leisure Centre.
The group – on scrambler motorcycles and bicycles – were wearing balaclavas when they were spotted at 9pm yesterday (9th September).
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said that while efforts would be made to deter would-be thieves going forward, drivers should take additional measures where possible too.
“It is advised to invest in a steering lock and extra alarms and not to leave laptops, wallets or phones in cars as this then is an opportunity for thieves to break in and steal them.”
