Van drivers are being urged to be on their guard after an attempt to break into a vehicle in Lichfield.

Staffordshire Police say the incident – which took place between 4pm on Friday (17th December) and 8am the following day at the Holiday Inn car park at Wall Island – is the latest in a string of incidents reported across the county.

A spokesperson said:

> “The offenders unsuccessfully attempted to gain entry to a white Ford Transit van parked up.  
>  
> “The south of the county is being targeted by criminals breaking in to work vans with a view to stealing tools, especially power tools.  
>  
> “Drivers are encouraged to park vehicles in a manner that makes rear access difficult and not to store expensive tools in vans overnight.”  
>  
> Staffordshire Police spokesperson

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact police on 101, quoting incident 377 of 18th December.
