THIEVES are stealing tools from vans using gadgets, say police. There has been a spate, across Staffordshire, of vans being broken into and having large quantities of tools stolen. It is believed offenders are using gadgets that enable them to bypass locking mechanisms and enter vans without causing any damage leaving them free to steal the contents.
A police spokesman said: “There are many products available over the internet to combat this problem and van owners are being asked to consider having their vehicles sufficiently protected.
“Simply type ‘ford transit anti pick lock’ into your internet search engine to find companies offering for sale van security products.
“You can also find more vehicle security advice at www.thatcham.org.”
