RESIDENTS in Stockton Heath and Appleton are being warned to be on the lookout for car thieves.

Police Community Support Officer Dave Mahon is urging those in the area to be more aware of the problem in order to ensure no new incidents.

“We need to be on the lookout for it, what they may do after stealing a car is to leave the vehicle locally,” he told Appleton Parish Council last Tuesday.

“If they see that the car has no tracker then they could come back and take the car.”
