CAR THIEVES in Northamptonshire are stealing Land Rover 110 and 90s and a number of local residents have already been the victims of these callous thieves.
We're sad to report that vehicles have recently been stolen from Apethorpe, Nassington and Woodnewton and Police are appealing for anyone who owns a Land Rover to keep it secure even if it's left for just a minute.
The prestigious country vehicles are being stolen and broken up for spare parts and being used to take part in other crimes such as stealing trailers and caravans.
We spoke to Land Rover Owner magazine editor John Pearson who recommended fitting a Disklock steering wheel lock as the best deterrent.
He said: "Do make sure you always use a lock, even if it is a pain to lift on and off. A relative of mine left his off during the day outside his house in Burton Latimer and it went. Two of LRO's contributors had theirs stolen as well; one at the Billing Show and the other from outside his house."
If you see anything suspicious around your vehicle or anyone else's then please call: 03000-111-222 or 999 in the event of an emergency or crime in progress.
