-> Man, 22, dies after crash in MorleyEast Riding Detective Inspector John Burrell said, “It is a sad reality that there are people out at night while the rest of us sleep looking to steal people’s property.

“We all feel that our property should be safe from thieves, but I am concerned that people still leave valuable contents clearly on display in their unlocked cars. Opportunist thieves are out and about checking car doors and will take anything from inside that they think they can use or sell.

“I would advise everyone to park their cars as securely as possible, lock all the doors and to remove anything at all out of the visible areas of their cars. Take tools and equipment out and store them safely inside the house to prevent becoming a victim of theft.”
