A warning has been issued following multiple thefts of keyless vehicles across the region.

Cambridgeshire Police have said, in the last four months, 25 cars have been stolen, primarily Land Rovers and Range Rovers, all using keyless entry technology.

All thefts happened overnight, with most offences having taken place in Cambridgeshire – 12 across Peterborough, four in Huntingdonshire and two in Fenland.

One has been stolen Haverhill, plus a handful in neighbouring Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.

Detective Sergeant Justin Parr:

"So far, we have managed to recover 13 of the stolen cars and are carrying out various enquiries to identify and locate those responsible.

"The thefts have all taken place overnight, usually in the early hours of the morning when most people are asleep, but I would like to ask members of the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to us, including any video doorbell footage."
