Police are warning drivers of keyless cars after a stolen vehicle was found in Whittington.
Officers say a Range Rover and Land Rover were targeted by criminals over the weekend.
In one incident on Sunday (13th February) a black Land Rover was taken from a driveway in Tamworth, before being found abandoned on Back Lane in Whittington.
Police believe the thieves are tampering with the signal of key-fobs in order to gain access to vehicles.
Chief Inspector Robert Neeson, from Staffordshire Police, said:
“Keyless car owners should ideally park their vehicle in a locked garage where possible and ensure their entry devices are not left in sight of windows or near doors.
“Consider using a steering-wheel lock when leaving your vehicle unattended and always ensure the doors are secured after pressing the fob.”
