Police warning to keyless car owners after Land Rover and Mercedes stolen inside two days in Telford
Police are asking keyless car owners in Shropshire to be wary after two thefts in a Telford neighbourhood in two days.
West Mercia Police Safer Neighbourhood Officer for Hadley and Leegomery, Robert Hughes posted on the force's Neighbourhood Matters page reporting the thefts.
The officer said a silver Mercedes X350 pick-up was stolen in Hadley on Saturday, following the theft of a grey Land Rover Discovery from a driveway in Apley last Thursday.
PC Hughes supplied a list of measures that car and vehicle owners can take to prevent theft.
The post said: "We have had two vehicles stolen in Hadley and Leegomery over the last few days, if you own a keyless entry vehicle then please consider options to prevent theft .
"Things you can consider are a Faraday case, steering lock or fitting a tracker.
"Sometimes thieves will abandon the vehicles in a side street to see if a tracker is fitted, if you have seen any of these vehicles turn up in the early hours please let us know."
