“If you have been affected by this crime please report the incident by calling 101 or via the Lancashire Constabulary website,” a spokesman for the force added.

“Finally, just a polite reminder to ensure your property and vehicles are secure.”

It takes a few seconds to steal from a vehicle and many of these crimes are due to vehicles being unlocked, according to Lancashire Police.

Never leave items on display, such as shopping bags, handbags, or coats and do not leave spare keys or sat navs in your vehicle, even in the glove box.
