Car left de-icing on driveway is stolen
A car was stolen after it was left with its engine running while it was defrosting on a driveway in Albrighton.
The car owner had left their black Peugeot 308 running on their drive and popped back in their house quickly yesterday morning.
In the short space of time that they were inside the house, an opportunist thief managed to get into the car and drive away within a matter of seconds.
The owner returned to the drive to find the car had been stolen.
Police forces across the country often warn motorists of the risk they are taking by leaving the engine on their vehicle running and leaving it unattended for any length of time.
West Mercia Police are now checking the automatic number plate recognition cameras in the surrounding area and will also contact police forces that border the area. If the car passes an ANPR camera, then officers in the area will be notified and will take action.
