Detectives are asking residents to make sure they are on their guard after making arrests and recovering three sat navs believed to have been stolen from the Morley Street area of the city.

Bradford South CID are now appealing to anyone who may have had their car broken into in the Morley Street area last week to contact them after recovering the navigation systems.

Officers were called to the location at about 3.25am last Thursday after two men were seeing trying car door handles on Sawrey Place.

Police arrested a local man and a local teenager near the scene and recovered three sat-nav systems, one of which is believed to have come from an address on Swan Street.

Both the male teenager and man were bailed pending further enquiries.

West Yorkshire Police say anyone in the area of Morley Street who believes their sat nav was taken in the early hours of last Thursday should contact Bradford South CID on 0845 606 0606.
