POLICE have issued a warning to the public following an increase in thefts of integrated sat-navs from motor vehicles in the Bradford West and Bradford City Centre policing areas.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Traditionally theft from motor vehicles has related to items left within a vehicle when leaving it unoccupied, but more recently offenders have also stolen parts too.

"Items such as sat-navs, phones, money, laptops, clothing and tools can be extremely attractive to an offender and are the everyday items that often get left on show in vehicles.

"If you are parking your vehicle in a public place, try to find a car park that has received ‘Park Mark’ accreditation – these sites have gone through a process to improve and sustain levels of security."
