A man has been arrested and an investigation launched after police recovered a suspected stolen vehicle on Thursday.

Officers from the Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) found the Toyota Hilux in Doddington.

Advice includes ensuring your vehicle is always locked and that, where possible, you park in well-lit areas covered by CCTV.

Features such as immobilisers, steering wheel locks, pedal boxes and gear stick locks can also prevent theft.

It’s also important to keep the keys in a safe place that isn’t easily accessible from your front door and consider using a Faraday pouch for keyless vehicles.
