Police are urging Bradford City fans who drive to home games to continue to help them towards their goal of reducing vehicle crime on match days.

The mid-season reminder comes as figures show that thefts from motor vehicles in the Bradford West area, where Valley Parade is situated, are down by almost 200 incidents on the same time last year - dropping from 791 in 2013/14 to 597.

The Bradford West Area Neighbourhood Team, which has teamed up with the club to tackle matchday car crime this season, now hopes that Bantams supporters will continue to play their part by removing anything from their vehicles that might appeal to a thief, such as gadgets and clothing, and to make sure their vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.

Local officers have been joined by Special Constables and police volunteers this season in the hours leading up to kick-off, patrolling the area around Valley Parade and handing out leaflets to fans to remind them to secure their vehicles.
