Since January, there have been five reports of Nissan Navara thefts, including one in Cheshire (Cheshire Police).

DI, Chris Morris, said: "It is worth reviewing your security and making sure your car is locked and secure. If you see anything that seems suspicious, please report it.

"We want to make Cheshire a no go area for thieves, and by working together and reviewing security we can make the county difficult for thieves to operate."

It is important that you make sure you always lock your vehicle, even if you are just stepping away from it momentarily. 

Vehicle crime is more than often committed when the vehicle is left insecure.

Fuelling up or popping back into your house to get something are perfect examples of how easy it is to turn your back for a moment and forget your vehicle is unsecured.

If you have a garage, use it to keep your vehicle safe from thieves. If you are parked on the drive or roadside, think about how you could improve lighting, or consider doorbell cameras or CCTV.

If your car has keyless entry, make sure your key, and spare, are stored well away from the car. If you can, use a faraday bag. You can also turn off wireless signals on your fob if it isn't being used.

Considering these options will make life difficult for thieves.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity should report it to police on 101 or via the website, if you see a crime in action dial 999.
