South Yorkshire Police said PCSOs identified a number of ‘vulnerable’ vehicles while patrolling the city centre on Thursday, December 5.

“Make sure that all your shopping is out of view, preferably in a boot that is covered.
“Be vigilant of people around you when you are putting shopping into your vehicle and then leaving again.”
